Question

A potato chip has a mass of 52.4 decigrams. What is the mass of the chip in grams?

Answer 1

A decigram is one-tenth of a gram, so to convert the mass of the chip from decigrams to grams, we need to multiply it by 10.

52.4 decigrams * 10 = 524 grams

So, the mass of the chip in grams is 524 grams.
