To answer conversion questions like this go to Google.com and in the search window, type in your question like this..

24 cups in gallons

or this

4000 square feet in acres

or this

45 inches^3 in liters

and it will give you a direct answer.

It is great for this.

In your case type in

1 microgram/kg in microgram/gram

Note, you can also use the Google search window as a calculator. You might type in

23.5 x 54^2 x sqrt 5 =

If this is a homework question, the below is a very powerful and easy method to convert numbers from one unit to another.

Let us take an easy example.

Say you have 2.7 meters and you want to convert it to centimeters.

You know that 1m = 100 cm

Think about how we can take the equation 1m = 100 cm and divide both side by "1m" and get 1= 100 cm/m. (We have "re-arranged" the equation.)

Now think about how it is that if you multiply 2.7m by the number 1 you simply get 2.7m again.

Now think about how since "100 cm/m" equals 1 because 1= 100 cm/m you can multiply 2.7 m by "100 cm/m" and you will have the same distance. The only difference is that after you cancel out the meters the distance will be expressed in different units.

Here it is expresses mathematically...

2.7m = 2.7m X 1 = 2.7m X 100 cm/m = 270 cm. Notice how the meters cancel each other out and you are left with centimeters.

This always works

Here is a harder example.

Convert the speed 8,100 m/s to the units of km/hr

As discussed above since 1000m = 1 km, we will in this case divide both sides of the equation by "1000m" and get 1=(1/1000)km/m.

when we multiply by that and cancel out the meters, we get 8,100 m/s = 8.1 km/s.

(Note that we could have taken the equation 1000m = 1 km and divided both sides by "1km" to get 1 =1000m/km and then DIVIDED by 1000km/m and the meters would have still canceled out. Here is the math 8,100m/s = 8,100m/s / 1 = 8,100m/s / 1000m/km = 8.1 km/s )

Now to convert the seconds to hours we first convert the seconds to minutes by taking the equation 1min = 60s and dividing both sides by "1min" to get the equation 1 = 60s/min

When we multiply 8.1 km/s by the above we get 480 km/min

We do the same thing with the equation 1hr = 60 min to get 1 = 60 min/hr and when we multiply, we get 28,800 km/hr which is in the correct units.

For some reason it is not the law for physic teachers to tell their students about this method.

Here is website that goes into it in more detail.

How many 400 mcg in 0.2 mg?

To convert milligrams (mg) to micrograms (mcg), you multiply by 1,000, since 1 mg equals 1,000 mcg. Therefore, 0.2 mg is equal to 0.2 x 1,000 mcg, which equals 200 mcg. To determine how many 400 mcg are in 200 mcg, divide 200 mcg by 400 mcg, resulting in 0.5. Thus, there are 0.5 (or half) of 400 mcg in 0.2 mg.


How many mcg is in 0.4 mg?

There are 400 mcg in 0.4 mg. To convert milligrams (mg) to micrograms (mcg), you multiply by 1000 since 1 mg is equal to 1000 mcg.


How many 400mcg equals 1mg?

To convert micrograms (mcg) to milligrams (mg), you need to know that 1 mg is equal to 1000 mcg. Therefore, to find out how many 400 mcg are in 1 mg, you divide 1000 mcg by 400 mcg, which equals 2.5. Thus, 2.5 doses of 400 mcg equal 1 mg.


How many milligrams make 400 micrograms?

1000 micrograms = 1 milligram so 400 mcg = 400/1000 milligrams = 0.4 milligrams. Simple!


Is 0.4 mg larger than 400mcg?

No, 0.4 mg is not larger than 400 mcg; they are actually equal. To convert milligrams to micrograms, you multiply by 1,000, so 0.4 mg is equivalent to 400 mcg. Therefore, 0.4 mg and 400 mcg represent the same amount of substance.


Would you Convert 500 mcg to milligrams?

There are 1000mcg per milligram so you divide micrograms by 1,000:* 500mcg = 500 / 1000 = 0.5mg


How much IS A mg is in mcg?

One milligram (mg) is equal to 1,000 micrograms (mcg). Therefore, to convert milligrams to micrograms, you multiply the number of milligrams by 1,000. Conversely, to convert micrograms to milligrams, you divide the number of micrograms by 1,000.

How many milligrams is 280 mcg?

To convert micrograms (mcg) to milligrams (mg), you divide the number of micrograms by 1,000, since 1 mg equals 1,000 mcg. Therefore, 280 mcg is equal to 0.280 mg.


What is 0.2mg in mcg?

0.2 milligrams (mg) is equal to 200 micrograms (mcg). This conversion is based on the fact that 1 mg is equal to 1,000 mcg. Therefore, to convert milligrams to micrograms, you multiply by 1,000.


How do you convert mg into mcg?

To convert milligrams (mg) to micrograms (mcg), you multiply the number of milligrams by 1,000, since 1 mg is equal to 1,000 mcg. For example, if you have 5 mg, you would calculate 5 mg × 1,000 mcg/mg = 5,000 mcg. This conversion is useful when dealing with small dosages in pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements.
