Question

What is a cholesterol level of 1.85 g/l in the standard units of mg/dl?

Answer 1

Cholesterol is  a sterol, it is a type of lipid molecule, and is biosynthesized by all animal cells. Total cholesterol level lesser than 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is considered desirable for an adult. The standard unit used for any substance is gram per liter. However sometimes the concentration can also be expressed in terms of mg per deciliter. In this context 1 gram per liter is equal to 100 milligram per deciliter.

Thus 1.85 gram per liter is equal to 185 mg per deciliter. So 1.85 g/L is equivalent to 185mg per deciliter.

Answer 2

Answer: The cholesterol level is 185 mg/dL

Explanation:

We are given:

Cholesterol level = 1.85 g/L

To convert this level into milligrams per deciliters, we use the conversion factor:

1 g = 1000 mg

1 L = 10 dL

Converting the above speed into miles per hour, we get:

$\Rightarrow (\frac{1.85g}{L})\times (\frac{1000mg}{1g})\times (\frac{1L}{10dL})\\\\\Rightarrow 185mg/dL$

Hence, the cholesterol level is 185 mg/dL
