50 milligrams is fifty one-thousandths of a gram. It's equal to 0.001763698 ounces in English measurement. As you can see, it's an extremely small amount.

First response is wrong. The response from the retired pharmacist is correct. You can set up a proportion and find how many mLs are needed, or you can approach it by finding the number of mg per single mL in the suspension. 125mg PER 5mL means that each mL contains 25mg. Then divide 375mg by 25mg/mL to find the number of mLs per dose. This method is a proportion but many find it easier to work it out in this manner as many are not the best with math. When ever you do this kind of calculation think about your answer. For example, response #1 said it was 1.6mL or something, if you give 1.6mL of a suspension that is 25mg PER mL you are not giving anywhere near the correct dose.

It is recommended that we cut our intake of sodium to 2000 mg per day. That should be your question.
1 tsp of soy sauce contains 1320 mg of sodium
1 dill pickle contains 1900 mg
tomato juice contains 320 mg
1 hot dog contains 425 mg
1 oz of Rice Crispies contains 290 mg
1 oz potato chips contain 133 mg
McDonald's big Mac contains 950 mg
So you can see how difficult it is to maintain an intake of 2000 mg / day.
