This math topic focuses on converting metric mass units with decimals from larger to smaller units, such as kilograms to grams, dekagrams to milligrams, and hectograms to decagrams. The problems involve using different prefixes for mass measurements in the metric system (such as kilo-, deka-, hecto-, etc.) and require understanding of decimal placement and conversion accuracy. Each problem presents multiple choice answers, testing a student's ability to accurately perform and verify calculations involving complex metric conversions.
