Decagram to Gram Converter
Convert between decagrams and grams with precise bidirectional calculations
Weight Unit Conversion
1 decagram = 10 grams
1 gram = 0.1 decagrams
Conversion Results
Conversion formula: grams = decagrams × 10
Calculation: 0 dag × 10 = 0 g
Example Conversions
Decagrams to Grams
3 dag = 3 × 10 = 30 g
7 dag = 7 × 10 = 70 g
15 dag = 15 × 10 = 150 g
2.5 dag = 2.5 × 10 = 25 g
Grams to Decagrams
50 g = 50 ÷ 10 = 5 dag
100 g = 100 ÷ 10 = 10 dag
250 g = 250 ÷ 10 = 25 dag
35 g = 35 ÷ 10 = 3.5 dag

Understanding Decagrams and Grams
What is a Decagram?
A decagram (dag) is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 grams. While not as commonly used as grams or kilograms, decagrams are useful for measuring medium-sized quantities, particularly in food service and packaging.
When to Use Decagrams
- •Deli counters for cheese and meat portions
- •Small food packages and servings
- •Recipe ingredients in commercial kitchens
- •Scientific measurements of moderate quantities
Conversion Formula
1 decagram = 10 grams
1 gram = 0.1 decagrams
Decagrams → Grams
Multiply by 10
grams = decagrams × 10
Grams → Decagrams
Divide by 10
decagrams = grams ÷ 10
💡 Quick Tips
- • Decagrams bridge the gap between grams and hectograms (100g) in the metric system
- • The prefix "deca" means "ten," making this conversion straightforward
- • Decagrams are more common in European food labeling and commercial settings
- • When precision matters, decagrams reduce the need for decimal places in recipes
