1 cg is equal to (2 points) Select one: a. 103 hg. b. 103 g. c. 10-2 mg. d. 10-2 g.
Answer : The correct option is, (d) \(10^{-2}\) gram
Explanation :
The conversion used from centigram to hectogram is:
1 centigram = 0.0001 hectogram = \(10^{-4}\) hectogram
The conversion used from centigram to gram is:
1 centigram = 0.01 gram = \(10^{-2}\) gram
The conversion used from centigram to milligram is:
1 centigram = 10 milligram
From this we conclude that,
1 centigram = \(10^{-2}\) gram
Hence, the correct option is, (d) \(10^{-2}\) gram
