These are SI units using standard prefixes. The interpretation of common prefixes is as follows:
kilo = 1000
hecto = 100
deca = 10
deci = 0.1
centi = 0.01
milli = 0.001
Therefore, 1 centigram is 0.01 grams and 1 decagram is 10 grams.
A decagram is 1000 times larger than a centigram.

A centigram is 10,000 times smaller than a decagram. This is because there are 10 centigrams in a decigram and 10 decigrams in a gram. Therefore, a centigram is 10,000 times smaller than a decagram.
Centi- prefix means 1/100
Milli- prefix means 1/1000
So 1 centigram is 10 times larger than a milligram, that is 1 cg = 10mg.
less than 1, answer= 0.1, there are 10 milligrams in 1 centigram
There are ten milligrams in one centigram.
1 kilogram = 1000 grams 1 gram = 0.001 kilograms
