Question

question 1 (1 point) 15.8 g = ______ dg

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion factor

We know that \(1\ \text{g} = 10\ \text{dg}\). So the conversion factor from grams to decigrams is \(10\ \text{dg/g}\).

Step2: Multiply by conversion factor

To convert \(15.8\ \text{g}\) to decigrams, we multiply the mass in grams by the conversion factor: \(15.8\ \text{g} \times 10\ \text{dg/g}\).
Calculating this, \(15.8\times10 = 158\).

Answer:

158
