you need a solution of 195 mg/dL., what would it be in g/L? [1g=1000 mg, 1L=10 dL]
195/1000*10 = ?????
ok is this the answer could u write out the steps you took to solve the problem?
195 mg/dL x (1 g/1000 mg) x (10 dL/L) =
The post by manny is correct but this post shows the detail. Note how the units we don't want cancel and the unit we want stays to the end of the problem.
o ok thanks!!
sorry i forgot to show the steps...
To convert from mg/dL to g/L, we need to consider the conversion factors given.
First, let's convert mg to g. We know that 1g is equal to 1000 mg. Therefore, to convert from mg to g, we divide by 1000.
195 mg = 195/1000 g
Next, let's convert dL to L. We know that 1L is equal to 10 dL. Therefore, to convert from dL to L, we divide by 10.
1 dL = 1/10 L
Now, we can put it all together:
195 mg/dL = (195/1000 g) / (1/10 L)
To simplify this expression, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 10:
(195/1000 g) / (1/10 L) = (195 * 10 g) / (1000 * 1 L)
Now, we can cancel out the common factors:
(195 * 10 g) / (1000 * 1 L) = 1950 g / 1000 L
Finally, simplify the expression:
1950 g / 1000 L = 1.95 g/L
Therefore, a solution of 195 mg/dL is equivalent to 1.95 g/L.
