Explanation:

Question 22

Step1: Recall metric prefixes

We know that \(1\ \text{g} = 10^{9}\ \text{mcg}\) (since \(1\ \text{g}=10^{3}\ \text{mg}\), \(1\ \text{mg} = 10^{3}\ \text{mcg}\), so \(1\ \text{g}=10^{3}\times10^{3}\times10^{3}=10^{9}\ \text{mcg}\)).

Step2: Convert 5,000 g to mcg

Multiply 5,000 by \(10^{9}\). \(5000\times10^{9}=5\times10^{3}\times10^{9}=5\times10^{12}\) mcg. In standard form with commas, it is \(5,000,000,000,000\ \text{mcg}\).

Step1: Recall metric prefixes

We know that \(1\ \text{g}=10^{3}\ \text{mg}\).

Step2: Convert 5,000 g to mg

Multiply 5,000 by \(10^{3}\). \(5000\times10^{3}=5\times10^{3}\times10^{3}=5\times10^{6}\) mg. In standard form with commas, it is \(5,000,000\ \text{mg}\).

Step1: Recall metric prefixes

We know that \(1\ \text{g} = 10^{9}\ \text{mcg}\), so to convert mcg to g, we divide by \(10^{9}\).

Step2: Convert 5,000 mcg to g

\(5000\ \text{mcg}=\frac{5000}{10^{9}}\ \text{g}=5\times10^{3}\times10^{- 9}\ \text{g}=5\times10^{-6}\ \text{g}\). In decimal form, it is \(0.000005\ \text{g}\).

Answer:

\(5,000,000,000,000\ \text{mcg}\)
