Answer:

1/20 g/mL

Explanation:

You want the fraction form of the ratio in grams per mL of 50 g in 1000 mL.

Ratio

The word "per" in this context means "divided by." That is, "grams per mL" means "grams divided by milliliters." That ratio looks like ...


\frac{50\text{ g}}{1000\text{ mL}}=\boxed{(1)/(20)\text{ g/mL}}
