Question

My question was
A person’s blood cholesterol level is 245 mg/dL. (1g=1000mg; 1L=1000mL). Show all calculations.
What is the cholesterol concentration in ppT (part per thousands) and ppm (parts per million)?

And your answer was
For ppm just remember that 1 ppm = 1 mg/L.
So 245 mg/dL = 2450 mg/L = 2450 ppm
Divide 2450 ppm by 1000 to obtain ppt.

Can you explain me how you got 2450 mg/L?

Answer 1

245 mg/dL*10dL/L = 2450 mg/L = 2450 ppm

deci is 1/10 so 10 deci= 1 whole

Answer 2
