So 40 centigrams is:

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ centigram = }(1)/(100)\text{ gram} \\ \\ 1*40\text{ centigrams = }(1)/(100)*40\text{ gram} \\ \\ 40\text{ centigrams = }(40)/(100)\text{ gram} \\ \\ 40\text{ centigrams = }(4)/(10)\text{ grams} \\ \\ 40\text{ centigrams = }(2)/(5)\text{ grams} \\ \\ 40\text{ centigrams = 0.4 grams} \end{gathered}`

40 centigrams is equal to 0.4 grams
