How many milligrams of active ingredient does a 5% solution have per milliliter?

A. 50 mg B. 5 mg C. 0.05 mg D. 0.5 mg

The correct answer here is option c) 0.05 mg (milligram)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step here to calculate the milligram of active ingredient in a 5% solution per milliliter is to assume that Z milligram of active ingredient is present in the 5% solution per milliliter.

NOTE * - milligram (mg) and milliliter (ml)

so therefore, the equation would become,

5/% = / frac{Z mg}{1 ml}

.05 = / frac{Z mg}{1 ml}

.05 x 1 = Z mg

therefore there is. 05 mg of active ingredient in the 5% solution per ml.
