Hint:
We are given a table with columns denoting different units of weight. There are four rows, with some value in certain column. We are just asked the question related to first row. We have to write the quantity given in first row in dekagrams. We don’t have to pay attention to other rows.
The correct answer is: 1400
The quantity given in first row in 14 kilograms.
We are asked to convert the above quantity in dekagrams
To convert the above quantity in hectograms, we should know the relation between them.
1 kilograms = 100 dekagrams
So, to convert 14 kilograms into dekagrams we will multiply the value by 100.
We get
14 kilograms = 14 × 100 dekagrams
= 1400 dekagrams.
So, the value given in first row is 1400 dekagrams.
For such questions, we should know about the different units and relation between them.
