So,

We are going to convert:


\frac{3.95\cdot10^{-3_{}}oz}{pint}

To grams/mL.

We could use the fact that 1 ounce equals 28.35 grams, and 1 pint equals 568.261mL.

Then,


\frac{3.95\cdot10^{-3_{}}oz}{pint}\cdot(1pint)/(568.261mL)\cdot(28.35g)/(1oz)=(0.00019706g)/(mL)

So that's the amount expressed in g/mL.

If we round, we obtain 0.000197g/mL.
