How many decagrams are in a kilogram?
I know the answer is 10^2 ... But how do I get it? I just guessed, but I'd like to know how to do it. Thanks so much in advance!

"Deca" means "ten."
"Kilo" means "thousand," which is 10^3.
Divide 1000 by 10 to get 100, which is 10^2.
When dividing, the exponents are subtracted, so 10^3 divided by 10^1 is 10^2.
