A dekagram (dag) is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 grams, commonly used for small everyday masses.

What does a gamma represent?

Gamma is a historical, non-SI unit representing one microgram, used to express extremely small masses.

Why convert dekagram to gamma?

This conversion is useful for expressing larger everyday masses into very fine micro-scale quantities needed in scientific fields like chemistry and environmental science.
