Question

how many dg are in 73.3 kg? round your answer to the tenths place.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit - conversion factor

We know that \(1\ kg = 10000\ dg\) (since \(1\ kg=1000\ g\) and \(1\ g = 10\ dg\), so \(1\ kg=1000\times10\ dg = 10000\ dg\)).

Step2: Set up conversion

To find out how many decigrams are in \(73.3\ kg\), we multiply the mass in kilograms by the conversion factor. Let \(x\) be the mass in decigrams. Then \(x = 73.3\times10000\).
\[x=73.3\times10000 = 733000\ dg\]

Answer:

\(733000.0\ dg\)
