Question

How many micrograms (ug) are in 3.4 x 10^-5 ounces (oz)

Answer 1

964ug

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem here involves converting from one unit to another.

We are to convert from ounces to micrograms.

1ug = 1 x 10⁻⁶g

1oz = 28.35g

So we first convert to grams from oz then take to ug:

Solving:

1oz = 28.35g

3.4 x 10⁻⁵oz will then give 3.4 x 10⁻⁵ x 28.35 = 9.64 x 10⁻⁴g

So;

1 x 10⁻⁶g = 1ug

9.64 x 10⁻⁴g will give
`(9.64 x 10^(-4) )/(1 x 10^(-6) )` = 9.64 x 10²ug or 964ug
