Answer:
1.2 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that an oral concentrate of sertraline hydro-chloride (Zoloft) contains 20 mg/mL of the drug.
First of all, we will find number of mg in 60 mL container of the concentrate as:
[tex]\frac{\text{20 mg}}{\text{ml}}\times \text{60 ml}[/tex]
[tex]\text{20 mg}\times 60[/tex]
[tex]\text{1200 mg}[/tex]
We know 1 gram equals 1000 mg.
[tex]\text{1200 mg}\times \frac{\text{1 gram}}{\text{1000 mg}}[/tex]
[tex]1.2\times\text{1 gram}[/tex]
[tex]1.2\text{ grams}[/tex]
Therefore, 1.2 grams of sertraline hydrochloride are in each 60-mL container of the concentrate.
