Question

A certain food has a gluten ratio of 13 mg of gluten per l of the food. What is the gluten ratio in micrograms per milliliter?

Answer 1

Answer:

13:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The gluten ratio is 13 mg per L of food.

Note that

1 L = 1000 mL (milliliter)

1 mg = 10⁻³ g

1 μg = 10⁻⁶ g

Therefore

1 mg = 1000 μg

The gluten ratio is

(13 \frac{mg}{L} )*( 1000 \frac{\mu g}{mg} )*( \frac{1}{1000} \frac{L}{mL} )=13 \frac{\mu g}{mL}

Answer: The gluten ratio is 13 μg/mL
