Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Understand the relationship between grams and milligrams. There are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram.
Identify the given value in grams, which is 0.000070 g/day.
To convert grams to milligrams, multiply the given value by 1000. This is because 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams.
Set up the conversion equation: \( \text{milligrams/day} = \text{grams/day} \times 1000 \).
Substitute the given value into the equation: \( \text{milligrams/day} = 0.000070 \times 1000 \).
