g to dkg is 1 place to the right, move the decimal point 1 place to the left
225 g = 22.5 dkg
C is the answer

Answer: C) 2.25 dkg

Step-by-step explanation: 1 kg = 1000 g

A)
0.225kg((1000g)/(1kg)) = 225 g

B) cg stands for centigrams. 1 g = 100 cg

So,
22500cg((1g)/(100cg)) = 225 g

C) dkg stands for decagrams. dag is also used in place of dkg which also means decagram.

1 dkg = 10 g


2.25dkg((10g)/(1dkg)) = 22.5 g

D) dg stands for decigram.

1 g = 10 dg


2250dg((1g)/(10dg)) = 225 g

On converting all the given mass units to grams, we see that it's choice C which is not equal to 225 g and so it is the right choice.
