Centigrams are larger than decigrams.
Hectometers are smaller than kilometers.
Dekaliters are larger than kiloliters.
Grams are smaller than dekagrams.
A 2-column table with 7 rows. Column 1 has entries kilo, hecto, deka, unit, deci, centi, milli. Column 2 has entries 1,000, 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001.

Answer 1

To determine which statements are true, let's analyze each one based on the metric system and the data given in the table:

1. **Centigrams are larger than decigrams.**
**False**.
- Centigrams (0.01 grams) are smaller than decigrams (0.1 grams).

2. **Hectometers are smaller than kilometers.**
**True**.
- Hectometers (100 meters) are smaller than kilometers (1,000 meters).

3. **Dekaliters are larger than kiloliters.**
**False**.
- Dekaliters (10 liters) are smaller than kiloliters (1,000 liters).

4. **Grams are smaller than dekagrams.**
**True**.
- Grams (1 gram) are smaller than dekagrams (10 grams).

Based on this analysis, the true statements are:

- Hectometers are smaller than kilometers.
- Grams are smaller than dekagrams.
