Fox, I'm assuming you're trying to figure out how many mgs Advil are in 3cc? According to my conversion guide, 1 tsp = approx. 5ml which = approx 5 cc. THerefore, if there are 150 mg in 5cc, there would be 90 mg Advil in 3cc of liquid. (150 mg/5ml = 30mg/ml; 30mg/ml x 3ml (cc) =90 mg).

Good luck with your studies! If I misunderstood what the problem was asking, PM me, hopefully I can help! OH, and btw, I had to look up how many ml/cc were in a tsp - hadn't come across that before!

you can set it up in ratio/ proportion like this also 5 mL:150 mg : 3mL : x mg

then take l50 X 3 and divide it by 5 to get you mg. x=90

Are you trying to figure out how many milligrams are in 3 cc's of Advil if your given that there is 150 per teaspoon (a teaspoon being 5 cc's).

If you are it is 90 mg as was indicated above.

I'm a bit confused as you questions seems to be incomplete.
