A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. It may or may not contain a fractional part. If not, the decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the decimal for 250 is 250. If you want it as a decimal fraction of some other quantity then you need to specify that second quantity.
From the available information it could be 250 grams, or 250 deci-, centi-, milli-, micro-, nano-, ... grams, or even grains.
