Final answer:

To convert the given units to their metric equivalents, we can convert each unit to grams and then convert to the desired unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the metric equivalent of 1 g100 mcg1000 mg3/4 gr1 gr2.2 lbs, we can convert each unit to grams and then convert to the desired unit. Starting with grams, we have 1 gram. Converting 100 micrograms (mcg) to grams, we divide by 1000, resulting in 0.1 grams.

Converting 1000 milligrams (mg) to grams, we divide by 1000 to get 1 gram. Next, converting 3/4 grain (gr) to grams, we use the conversion factor that 1 grain is approximately 0.0648 grams. Therefore, 3/4 grain is equal to 0.0648 * 3/4 = 0.0486 grams.

Converting 1 grain to grams, we use the same conversion factor and get approximately 0.0648 grams. Finally, converting 2.2 pounds (lbs) to grams, we multiply by 453.592 to get approximately 997.9 grams.
