1 decigram = 0.1 gram.
The tenth prefix is deci- indicated by "d" → 1/10 gram = 1 dg
The abbreviation "dg" stands for decigram, which is a unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram. It is derived from the prefix "deci," meaning one-tenth. In contrast, "deca" refers to a factor of ten. Therefore, "dg" is associated with "deci," not "deca."
The metric prefix for one tenth is deci.
The prefix deci is used to denote one tenth.
First off, you cannot associate weight and length without knowing the shape, other dimensions and density. However, if you happened to have two units with the same suffix (gram) deci would be 100 times milli (gram) so deci would be larger.

deci is one of the SI prefixes. Deci means 1/10th of a gram. This is not to be confused with deca which means 10 grams.
The abbreviation "dg" stands for decigram, which is a unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram. It is derived from the prefix "deci," meaning one-tenth. In contrast, "deca" refers to a factor of ten. Therefore, "dg" is associated with "deci," not "deca."
"dg" stands for decigrams in the metric system. It is a unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram.
Deci- means 10 so a decigram is 10 times smaller than a gram.
Mathematically speaking, dg could be deci-grams, ie one tenth of a gram. Without a context it is impossible to give an exact answer.
The metric prefix for one tenth is deci.
In the metric system, the prefix that means 0.001 is milli-. This stands for one thousandth. So, measurements, such as millimeter, milliliter, and milligram denote one thousandth of a meter, liter, and gram, respectively.
The prefix deci is used to denote one tenth.
First off, you cannot associate weight and length without knowing the shape, other dimensions and density. However, if you happened to have two units with the same suffix (gram) deci would be 100 times milli (gram) so deci would be larger.
