there are grams of lorazepam in 2.3 milliliters of this drug.
(type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the milligrams of lorazepam

The concentration is \(4\) mg/mL. For \(2.3\) mL, the amount in milligrams is \(4\times2.3 = 9.2\) mg.

Step2: Convert milligrams to grams

Since \(1\) g \(= 1000\) mg, then \(9.2\) mg \(=\frac{9.2}{1000}=0.0092\) g.

Answer:

\(0.0092\)
