About Decigram (dg)
Definition
The decigram is a unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram (10⁻¹ g) or 100 milligrams.
Mathematical Relationship
1 dg = 0.1 g = 100 mg = 10 cg.
Conversion Formula
To convert dg to grams: divide by 10. To convert dg to mg: multiply by 100.
Practical Applications
Limited modern use. May appear in some European cooking recipes or educational worksheets.
Interesting Facts
The decigram was in wider use in the 19th century when the metric system was still establishing conventions.
Common Mistakes
Confusing dg (decigram) with dag (dekagram) — they differ by a factor of 100.
Educational Tips
Deci = one-tenth, deka = ten. They are opposite: dg = 0.1 g, dag = 10 g.
About Metric Ton (t)
Definition
The metric ton (tonne) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or one megagram.
Mathematical Relationship
1 t = 1,000 kg = 10⁶ g = 2,204.62 lb = 1.10231 short tons = 0.98421 long tons.
Conversion Formula
To convert tonnes to kg: multiply by 1,000. To convert tonnes to short tons: multiply by 1.10231.
Practical Applications
Cargo shipping, vehicle weight ratings, construction material ordering, and agricultural harvests.
Interesting Facts
The three 'tons' often cause confusion: metric tonne (1,000 kg), short ton (907 kg, US), and long ton (1,016 kg, UK).
Common Mistakes
Confusing metric tonnes with short tons (US) or long tons (UK). A metric tonne is 10% heavier than a US short ton.
Educational Tips
1 tonne = ~2,200 lb. Quick check: multiply tonnes by 2.2 to get approximate thousands of pounds.
