Worked Examples
Example 1: European Grocery Conversion
Problem: A deli prices cheese at 2.50 per decagram. How much does 250 grams cost?
Solution: Convert grams to decagrams:\n250 g / 10 = 25 dag\nCost = 25 x 2.50 = 62.50\nAlternatively: 250 g = 8.82 oz = 0.551 lb
Result: 250 grams = 25 decagrams
Example 2: Recipe Weight Conversion
Problem: Convert 7.5 decagrams of flour to ounces and grams.
Solution: Grams = 7.5 x 10 = 75 g\nOunces = 75 / 28.3495 = 2.6455 oz\nPounds = 75 / 453.592 = 0.1653 lb\nMilligrams = 75,000 mg
Result: 7.5 dag = 75 g = 2.65 oz
