A decigram (dg) is a unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram (0.1 g), used for measuring small masses with finer resolution than grams.

How do I convert decigrams to grams?

To convert decigrams to grams, multiply the decigram value by 0.1 since 1 decigram equals 0.1 grams.

When should I use grams instead of decigrams?

Use grams for better clarity and universal recognition, especially when the precision of 0.1 gram is sufficient.
