If a label states that 1 mil contains 500 mg, how many mils are there if there are 1.5 grams?

  • A. 2
  • B. 5
  • C. 9
  • D. 3
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert grams to mils using the given conversion rate of 1 mil = 500 mg, you need to first convert grams to milligrams. Since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams, 1.5 grams would be 1500 milligrams. To find out how many mils this corresponds to, you divide the total milligrams by the milligrams per mil: 1500 mg · 500 mg/mil = 3 mils. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.
