This math topic focuses on the conversion of metric mass units in single-unit scenarios from a larger unit to a base unit. The skills practiced involve converting different mass units such as dekagrams, centigrams, hectograms, kilograms, decagrams, decigrams, and back to grams. The problems are structured in a multiple-choice format, where students must select the correct conversion among several options. These exercises are suitable for beginners, helping to build foundational skills in understanding and navigating through the metric system for mass measurement.
