Answer 1

Conversions

We want to know how many kilograms, hectograms and dekagrams are 411 grams:

Kilo

We know "kilo" means 1 thousand, 1000, then

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

Dividing by 1000 both sides:

1 kilogram / 1000 = 1000 grams / 1000

0.001 kilograms = 1 gram

Hecto

We know "hecto" means 1 hundred, 100, then

1 hectogram = 100 grams

Dividing by 100 both sides:

1 hectogram / 100 = 100 grams / 100

0.01 hectograms = 1 gram

Deka

We know "deka" means ten, 10, then

1 dekagram = 10 grams

Dividing by 10 both sides:

1 dekagram / 10 = 10 grams / 10

0.1 dekagrams = 1 gram

Now we have:

0.001 kilograms = 1 gram

0.01 hectograms = 1 gram

0.1 dekagrams = 1 gram

If we multiply by 411 both sides we will have the answer:

0.411 kilograms = 411 gram

4.11 hectograms = 411 gram

41.1 dekagrams = 411 gram
