If a cough syrup contains 0.24 gm of codeine in 120 ml, how many mg are contained in each teaspoonful

How many mL in a teaspoon? 4.93 mL according to Google.com.

So 0.24 g x 4.93/120 = g in a teaspoon of the syrup. Now convert g to mg by multiplying by 1000. Check my thinking.
OR, type 0.24 g/120 mL to g/teaspoon into google and google's answers will be in g. Multiply by 1000 to convert to mg.

To determine the amount of codeine in each teaspoonful, we need to convert grams to milligrams and adjust the units accordingly. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Convert 0.24 grams to milligrams:
- Since 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams, multiply 0.24 grams by 1000.
- 0.24 grams * 1000 = 240 milligrams.

2. Determine the volume of each teaspoonful:
- The given cough syrup contains 120 ml in total.
- However, we need to know how many teaspoonfuls make up this volume.

- Standardly, 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 milliliters.
- So, we divide the total volume (120 ml) by the volume of a teaspoon (5 ml):
120 ml ÷ 5 ml = 24 teaspoonfuls.

3. Calculate the amount of codeine in each teaspoonful:
- Divide the total amount of codeine (240 milligrams) by the number of teaspoonfuls (24):
240 mg ÷ 24 = 10 mg.

Therefore, each teaspoonful of the cough syrup contains 10 mg of codeine.
