Which measure correctly completes the statement?
1,127.5 milligrams = ? mL]
A. 112.75 grams
B. 11.275 grams
C. 1.1275 grams**
D. 1,127.5
Help, please!!
1 mg = 0.001 mL
1127.5 mg = 1127.5 ∙ 0.001 = 1.1275 mL
To solve this problem, you need to understand the conversion between milligrams (mg) and milliliters (mL).
In this case, you are given 1,127.5 milligrams and want to find the equivalent amount in milliliters.
To convert milligrams to milliliters, you need to know the density or specific gravity of the substance. Since the substance is not specified in the question, we'll assume water, which has a density of 1 gram/mL.
Here's how you can solve the problem:
1. Since 1 gram is equal to 1,000 milligrams, you can divide 1,127.5 milligrams by 1,000 to convert it to grams:
1,127.5 mg ÷ 1,000 = 1.1275 grams
2. Since the density of water is 1 gram/mL, 1.1275 grams is equal to 1.1275 mL.
Therefore, the correct measure to complete the statement "1,127.5 milligrams = ? mL" is option C: 1.1275 grams.
