So, what is 100mg in 1 Liter?

Well, 1000mg/100mL = 1% = .01

so, 100mg/100mL = .1% = .001

So 100mg/1000mL = .01% = .0001

As such, our setup is as follows

(.04)(X) = (1440)(.0001)

Now do the math.

ps. - I know that 1 pint is really 473 mL, but for training purposes we keep the numbers rounded for memorization purposes. Thanks -Keith

125mL
by: Sarah

I get the right answer for the question at the top, but for the one asked by Bonnie, I've worked the problem 2 different ways and I get 125 ml either way. I'm I doing something wrong or is this the right answer?

Would you explain how you arrived at the final concentration percentage? Thanks.

use: IV x IF = FV x FS
IV = ?
IF = 4%
FV = 3pints = 3 x 480ml = 1440ml
FS = 100mg/1000ml = 10mg/100ml = 0.010g/100ml
= 1:100 or 0.01%
IV x IF = FV x FS
X x 4% = 1440 x 0.01%
X = 1440x 0.01/4 = 3.6 ml
