A certain drug concentration of 2.145 mg per 1.716 mL, how many mL are needed to give 2.937 gram of the drug.

2,349.6‬ ml

Step-by-step explanation:

To start solving this, i realized that there was a difference in the units given and the units asked for in the answer, so I converted 2.937 grams to 2,397 mg. It is given that there are 2.145 mg of the drug in 1.716 mL, so set up the equation 2.145 / 1.716 = 2,937 / x, where x is the mL of the drug needed. Cross multiply to get 5039.892 = 2.145 x. Divide by 2.145 and get 2,349.6‬ ml
