if 10 mL of a solution contains 25 mg of a drug, then how much drug will be contained in 1 fl. oz. of this solution?

lb equals 73.93 mg kg



    In the first part, let's determine the mg quantity of drug present per mL of the solution. 25 mg of the drug is present in each 10 mL of the solution.
    [10 mL]/[25 mg]=[1 mL]/[x]
    So, x =2.5 mg

    In the second part, we need to first determine the volume of 1 fl. oz. the solution in mL unit. The students should remember the conversion table (provided at the end).
    1 ml = 2.5 mg
    1 fl. oz. y

    Or,
    1 ml = 2.5 mg
    29.57 ml y
    Then, y = 73.93 mg.

    • 1 fl. oz. = 29.57 mL
    • 1 cup = 8 fl. oz.
    • 1 pt. = 16 fl. oz.
    • 1 qt. = 32 fl. oz.
    • 1 gallon = 128 fl. oz.
