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 third row. We have to write the quantity given in third row in centigrams. We don’t have to pay attention to other rows.
The correct answer is: 56000
The quantity given in third row is 56 dekagram.
We are asked to convert the above quantity in decigrams.
To convert the above quantity in centigrams, we should know the relation between them.
1 dekagram = 1000 centigrams
So, to convert 56 dekagrams into centigrams we will multiply the value by 1000.
We get
56 dekagram = 56 × 1000 centigrams
= 56000 centigrams
So, the value given in third row is 56000 centigrams.
For such questions, we should know about conversion of units.
