Question

How do you convert 27.3 cg to its equivalent in hg?

Answer 1

Hint: We need to know what ‘cg’ and ‘hg’ means. Here ‘cg’ means centigrams and ‘hg’ means hectograms. We know \[1cg = 0.0001hg\], using this we can solve the given problem.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We know, \[1cg = 0.0001hg\].
That is we know \[1cg\] is equal to \[0.0001hg\].
Then \[27.3cg\] is equal to
 \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{27.3cg \times 0.0001hg}}{{1cg}}\]
 \[ \Rightarrow 0.00273\;hg\]
Thus we have, \[27.3cg\] is equal to \[0.00273hg\]
So, the correct answer is “ \[0.00273\;hg\]”.

Note: If we want to convert the given cg number to hg number then we multiply that number by 10000. That is \[1hg = 10000cg\].
Suppose let us say that they asked us to convert \[0.00273hg\] to ‘cg’, then
That is \[1hg\] is equal to \[10000cg\].
Then \[0.00273hg\] is equal to
 \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{0.00273hg \times 10000cg}}{{1hg}}\]
 \[ \Rightarrow 27.3cg\]
Thus we have, \[0.00273hg\] is equal to \[27.3cg\]
