Questions: Write 4/10 in proper medical notation for milligrams.

Solution Steps

To convert the fraction $\frac{4}{10}$ to milligrams, we need to understand that 1 gram (g) is equal to 1000 milligrams (mg). Therefore, we will first convert the fraction to a decimal and then multiply by 1000 to get the value in milligrams.

We start with the fraction \( \frac{4}{10} \). Converting this to decimal form gives us: \[ \frac{4}{10} = 0.4 \]

Next, we convert grams to milligrams. Since \( 1 \, \text{g} = 1000 \, \text{mg} \), we multiply the decimal by 1000: \[ 0.4 \, \text{g} \times 1000 = 400 \, \text{mg} \]
