SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on converting angles from degrees to grades using a specific conversion factor. The conversion formula established is $1^{\circ}=\frac{10^g}{9}$ and $1^g=\frac{9^{\circ}}{10}$. To convert degrees to grades, one must express the degree measure as a product involving $1^\circ$ and then substitute it with the conversion factor. For example, converting $45^\circ$ results in $50^g$. Conversely, to convert grades to degrees, the process involves representing grades as a product of $1^g$ and substituting accordingly, as shown with $30^g$ converting to $27^\circ$.
