    K = 5

    Explanation:

    Distribution coefficient, K, is defined as the ratio between the concentration of a solute in two inmiscible solvents.

    K = Concentration in solvent 1 / Concentration in solvent 2

    Usually solvent 2 is water.

    Replacing with the concentrations in the problem:

    K = Concentration in ether / Concentration in water

    K = 0.60mg/mL / 0.12mg/mL

    K = 5
