Answer: There are 4.8 grams in 100 mL of Drug A

Explanation:

In order to determinate how many grams are in 100 mL of Drug A you can multiply and divide the expression of the concentration by 10 (To obtain 100 mL in the denominator)

Notice that the value remains unaltered.

(475 mg/10 mL )(10/10) = 4750 mg/ 100 mL

But the question is how many grams are in 100 mL, so you have to convert the value from mg to g.

The prefix m (mili) is equivalent to 0,001 so you can use 0.001 instead of the prefix

4750(0.001) g/ 100 mL

4.75 g/ 100 mL

The rounded result is 4.8 g/ 100 mL
