If anyone can help me it would greatly be appreciated.  I need to convert the following, it is for employment drug screening.  We have an employee with the following reading:
                               127.4mg/dl

We need this converted over to :

                              how many  ng/ml

PLEASE HELP.  
Thankyou.

a milligram is 0.001 grams.
a nanogram is 0.000000001 grams
a deciliter is 0.1 liters
a milliliter is 0.001 liters

To convert milligrams to nanograms:
0.001/0.000000001 = 1000000

To convert deciliters to milliliters:
0.1/0.001 = 100

So to convert mg/dl to ng/ml:
1000000/100 = 10000

You just multiply mg/dl by 10,000 and you get ng/ml

127.4 mg/dl = 1,274,000 ng/ml
