Which of the following is equivalent to the expression above?


1 decagram = 10 grams 1,000 milligrams = 1 gram
A hospital stores one type of medicine in 2-decagram containers.

Based on the information given in the box above, how many 1-milligram doses are there in one 2-decagram container?


Use the passage below to answer the question.

Box’s research is important because the fires of 2012 may not be a one-time phenomenon. According to scientists, rising Arctic temperatures are making northern latitudes greener and thus more fire prone. The pattern Box observed in 2012 may repeat [?] itself again, with harmful effects on the Arctic ecosystem. Box is currently organizing an expedition to gather this crucial information. The next step for Box and his team is to travel to Greenland to perform direct sampling of the ice in order to determine just how much the soot is contributing to the melting of the ice sheet. Members of the public will be able to track his team’s progress—and even help fund the expedition—through a website Box has created.
