This math topic focuses on converting various metric mass units involving decimals. It covers conversions both across less common and more common metric units including milligrams, centigrams, decigrams, grams, hectograms, and kilograms. Each question presents a task where a specific mass in one unit must be converted into another unit, requiring calculations to correctly identify the equivalencies within the metric system during conversion. This subject is essentially a practical application of the metric system for mass conversion, suitable for reinforcing an understanding of metric weight measurements and their interrelationships.
