SOLUTION

To change kilograms to grams, we multiply by 1000.

So, 11.8 Kilograms = 11,800 grams

To change centigrams to milligrams, you multiply by 10,

So, 1.18 centigrams = 11.8 milligrams

To change grams to decagrams, you divide by 10,

So, 1,180 grams = 118 decagrams

And finally,

To change Hectograms to centigrams, you multiply by 10,000

So, 0.0118 Hectograms = 118 centigrams
