Yes

The accuracy to which we can measure a value using a given instrument is dependent on the instrument's least count. The least count of this instrument is 0.1 grams, or a tenth of a gram. Therefore, we may measure to the tenth of a gram with confidence. We cannot measure to the hundredth of a gram however.
