Actually, centigrams are larger than miligrams.
1 milligram = 1/1000th of a gram or .001 of a gram
1 centigram = 1/100th of a gram or .01 of a gram.
Therefore, there are .1 centigrams in a mg. A centigram is 10 miligrams.
The metric system is very consistent. It works like this :
Mili = 1/1000th
Centi = 1/100th
Deci = 1/10th
Deka = 10
Hecto = 100
Kilo = 1000
And that is consistent for all units of measure.
NB:
mg is the abbreviation for miligram
mcg is the abbreviation for microgram
12.4mg equates to 1.24cg (10mg per centigram).*Centigrams x 10 = mg*Milligrams/10 = cg
11cg equates to 110mg (10mg per centigram).*Centigrams x 10 = mg*Milligrams/10 = cg
People are unlikely to measure in centigrams, but you can still calculate it. Since this is a metric question you can change it to 120 mm is how many cm?Since every cm has 10 mm: 120/10 = 12120 mg = 12 cg
To convert centigrams (cg) to milligrams (mg), you need to multiply by 10. So, 521.4 cg is equal to 5214 mg.
To convert centigrams (cg) to milligrams (mg), you multiply by 10. Therefore, 75 cg is equal to 750 mg.
1 cg = 10 mg
37.6 cg = 376 mg
10 mg = 1 cg -> 1 mg = 1/10 cg -> 250 mg = 25 cg
1 cg = 10 mg so 100 cg = 10*100 mg = 1000 mg. Simple!
1100 mg 1 cg is 10 mg. 11 cg X 10 is 1100 mg
1 cg = 10 mg so 9 cg = 10*9 = 90 mg. Simple!
10 mg = 1 cg so 53 mg = 53/10 = 5.3 cg. Simple!
1 cg = 10 mg so 76 cg = 76*10 = 760 mg. Simple!
10 mg = 1 cg so 0.0018 mg = 0.0018/10 = 0.00018 cg. Simple!
10 mg = 1 cg so 295 mg = 295/10 cg = 29.5 cg. Simple!
10mg per cg
10 mg = 1 cg ⇒ 110 mg = 110 ÷ 10 cg = 11 cg
