1 decagram = 10 grams
Also 1000 milligrams = 1 gram
From the information provided, 2 decagrams = 20 grams
If 1000 milligrams = 1 gram, then
1000 x 20 = 20 x 20 grams
20,000 milligrams = 400 grams
Similarly, If 1 decagram = 10 grams, then
0.1 decagram = 1 gram
(that is, divide 1 decagram by 10 and also divide 10 grams by 10)
However, a 2-decagram container can hold 20 grams.
(Remember that 1000 milligrams = 1 gram).
If a 2-decagram container can hold 20 grams, which is equal to 20,000 milligrams, then;
2 decagrams = 20,000 milligrams
Therefore, a 2-decagram container can hold 20,000 1-milligram doses.
