The concentration of protein in a urine sample is calculated to be 2.77 μg/mL. What is the concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon (lb/gal)?

The concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon is

Explanation:

Units of measurement are established models for measuring different quantities. The conversion of units is the transformation of a quantity, expressed in a certain unit of measure, into an equivalent one, which may or may not be of the same system of units.

In this case, the conversion of units is carried out knowing that 1 μg are equal to 2.205*10⁻⁹ Lb and  1 mL equals 0.00022 Gallons. So

If 1 μg equals 2.205*10⁻⁹  lb, 2.77 μg how many lb equals?

lb=6.10785*10⁻⁹

So, 2.77 μg= 6.10785*10⁻⁹ lb

Then:

You get:

The concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon is
