#4200# dg#=420# g

Explanation:

g stands for grams and dg for decigrams.

#1# g#=10# dg #=> 1# dg #=1/10=0.1# g or #10^-1# g

You have #4200# dg #=> 4200/10=420# g

Notice that if it was centigrams (cg) or milligrams (mg) you would have divided by #100# and #1000# respectively.

Hope this helps :)
