How do convert 0.107g into centigrams?

0.107 g = 10.7 cg

Solution:

Since we know that the order of the metric system from smallest to largest is:

milli centi deci [base unit] deca hecta kilo

starting at the base unit, you can move the decimal either left or right which is the same as multiplying or dividing by 10. if the given unit is larger than the unit you are finding, you multiply the number by 10^n where n is equal to the amount of units in between or you may move the decimal n spaces to the right. If the given unit is smaller, then you do the opposite. You must divide by 10^n or move the decimal to the left.
