How many mg are in 60 mcg? Show all work using dimensional analysis
To convert from mcg to mg, we know that 1 mg is equal to 1000 mcg.
Therefore, the conversion factor we'll use is 1 mg/1000 mcg.
Now, we can set up the dimensional analysis:
60 mcg * 1 mg/1000 mcg
The mcg units cancel out, leaving us with:
= (60 * 1) mg / 1000
= 60 mg / 1000
Simplifying the fraction yields:
= 0.06 mg
Therefore, 60 mcg is equal to 0.06 mg.
To convert mcg (micrograms) to mg (milligrams), we need to use dimensional analysis.
1 mg = 1000 mcg (since the prefix "micro-" means 1/1000)
To convert 60 mcg to mg:
(60 mcg) x (1 mg / 1000 mcg) = (60/1000) mg = 0.06 mg
So, there are 0.06 mg in 60 mcg.
