1) 5ml contains 125mg
So 1 mg is present in 5/125ml
So 60mg is present in (5/125) ×60ml ie 2.4ml.
2) 500mg in 2ml
So 1 mg in (2/500) ml
So 350mg in (2/500) ×350ml or 1.4ml
3) 5mg in 1ml
So 4mg in (1/5) ×4 or 0.8ml
4) 50mg in 1 ml
250 mg in (1/50) ×250ml or 5ml
5) 80mg in 2ml
50mg in (2/80) ×50 or 1.25ml
6) 125mg in 2ml
75mg in (2/125) ×75ml or 1.2ml
7) 100mcg in 1ml
30mcg in (1/100) ×30ml or 0.3ml
8) 1mg is 1000mcg
So 0.2mg means 200mcg
400mcg in 1ml
So 200mcg in 0.5ml.
