* Kilogram (kg): The base unit of mass in the metric system.
* Hectogram (hg): 100 grams (1 hg = 100 g)
* Decagram (dag): 10 grams (1 dag = 10 g)
* Gram (g): A common unit for measuring mass.
* Decigram (dg): 1/10 of a gram (1 dg = 0.1 g)
* Centigram (cg): 1/100 of a gram (1 cg = 0.01 g)
* Milligram (mg): 1/1000 of a gram (1 mg = 0.001 g)
* Microgram (µg): 1/1,000,000 of a gram (1 µg = 0.000001 g)
Key points to remember:
* The metric system is based on powers of 10, which makes conversions easy.
* The kilogram is the standard unit of mass, but grams are often used for everyday measurements.
* Smaller units like milligrams and micrograms are used for very small quantities.
