Multiply by 10

Explanation:

The prefix "hecto" (h) means 100, and "deca" (da) means 10 of something/anything.

1hg=100g=10xx10g=10dg

Note:
The prefixes da and h are not in use very much.
Prefixes with a difference of xx1000 are most common, an exception being the c in cm=1//100m

m- = 1//1000 = milli
k- =1000 = kilo
M- = 1000000 = mega
Etc.

So with a k$ you can throw a medium-sized party, a M$ will make you a millionaire.
