Formula
hectograms = decagrams × 0.1
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 decagram equals 0.01 base units, and 1 hectogram equals 0.1 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct decagram-to-hectogram factor of 0.1.

1 dag × 0.1 = 0.1 hg
1 decagram = 0.1 hectograms.
Real-world example
50 dag × 0.1 = 5 hg
50 decagrams = 5 hectograms.
