1 decagram = 10 grams

Also 1000 milligrams = 1 gram

From the information provided, 2 decagrams = 20 grams

If 1000 milligrams = 1 gram, then

1000 x 20 = 20 x 20 grams

20,000 milligrams = 400 grams

Similarly, If 1 decagram = 10 grams, then

0.1 decagram = 1 gram

(that is, divide 1 decagram by 10 and also divide 10 grams by 10)

However, a 2-decagram container can hold 20 grams.

(Remember that 1000 milligrams = 1 gram).

If a 2-decagram container can hold 20 grams, which is equal to 20,000 milligrams, then;

2 decagrams = 20,000 milligrams

Therefore, a 2-decagram container can hold 20,000 1-milligram doses.
