Question

use the following chart to do the conversion of 0.016 gram = grain __ = __ milligrams.
approximate equivalents
1 teaspoon = 5 milliliters
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds
grain i = 60 milligrams
1 teaspoon = 60 drops
grain i = 1 drop
1 quart = 1 liter
fluid ounce 1 = 6 teaspoons
1 pint = 2 cups
fluid ounce 1 = 2 tablespoons
1 quart = fluid ounces 32
fluid ounce 1 = 30 milliliters
1 gram = grains 15
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
1 cup = 240 milliliters
the answer is grain □.
(type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
the answer is □ milligrams.
(type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert grams to grains

Given that \(1\) gram \( = 15\) grains.
To find the number of grains in \(0.016\) gram, we use the proportion \(x=\text{number of grams}\times15\).
So, \(x = 0.016\times15=\frac{16}{1000}\times15=\frac{240}{1000}=\frac{6}{25}\) grains.

Step2: Convert grams to milligrams

Since \(1\) gram \(=1000\) milligrams.
To convert \(0.016\) gram to milligrams, we use the formula \(y=\text{number of grams}\times1000\).
So, \(y = 0.016\times1000 = 16\) milligrams.

Answer:

The answer for grains is \(\frac{6}{25}\).
The answer for milligrams is \(16\).
