Question

How many micrograms (ug) are in 3.4 x 10^-5 ounces (oz)

Answer 1

Answer:

964ug

Explanation:

The problem here involves converting from one unit to another.

 We are to convert from ounces to micrograms.

                                    1ug  = 1 x 10⁻⁶g

                                    1oz  = 28.35g

       

So we first convert to grams from oz then take to ug:

 Solving:

                    1oz  = 28.35g

             3.4 x 10⁻⁵oz  will then give  3.4 x 10⁻⁵ x 28.35 = 9.64  x 10⁻⁴g

So;

                    1 x 10⁻⁶g    = 1ug

          9.64  x 10⁻⁴g will give $\frac{9.64 x 10^{-4} }{1 x 10^{-6} }$      = 9.64 x 10²ug or 964ug
