(b) 300 mcg/0.01 dL

(c) 3 mcg/0.01 cL

(d) 300 mcg/10 cL

- Show the solution(s) by using equivalent expressions.

Answer 1

Here are some important conversions to know for this question:

1mL=0.01 dL

1mL=0.1cL

1mg=1000mcg

The correct answer would be (b) because 0.3mg= 300mcg and 1mL= 0.01dL so that would give us 300mcg/0.01dL.
