View Available Hint(s) Most modern medications are given in doses of milligrams. Thyroid medications, however, are typically given in doses of micrograms. How many milligrams are in a dose labeled 125 µg? 1.25 x 105 mg 0.125 mg 1.25 x 10?4 mg 1.25 x 102 mg

Answer 1

0.125 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer would be 0.125 mg

According to the conversion factor, one milligram of a sample is equivalent to one thousand micrograms of the same sample.

milligram =
`10^(-3)`

microgram =
`10^(-6)`

Hence,

1 milligram = 1000 micrograms or 1 microgram =
`10^(-3)` milligram

Therefore, 125 micrograms will be:

125/1000 = 0.125 milligram
