Best Answer

600 ug is 0.6 mg. Micro means millionth and million means thousandth, so 1 milligram (mg) is 1000 micrograms (ug) and the reverse would be 1 microgram (ug) is .001 milligram (mg).

A shortcut to solving these problems is simply moving the decimal point. Referring to the above question there are 1000 micrograms in 1 milligram. Since 1000 has 3 zeros, you would move the decimal point three decimal places either to the left or right of the number in order to achieve the correct result. If you notice above the decimal point from 600. is moved three places to the left to 0.6 in order to achieve the conversion to milligrams from micrograms.
