I'm I doing this right?

If 2000 uS/cm = 1000 mg/L then 1180 uS/cm = 1.18 mg/L right ?

@Hero

OpenStudy (bibby):

\(\dfrac{2000uS/cm}{1000mg/L}=\dfrac{1180uS/cm}{xmg/L}\) you can multiply both sides by x and both sides by 1000

OpenStudy (bibby):

2000x=1180*1000 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

590 got it

OpenStudy (bibby):

also worth noting, the ratio on the left is 2:1 that is, the top is twice as much as the bottom

OpenStudy (bibby):

so 1180/2=590

oh that's true, thanks !
