If you have been asked to produce a 5% strength solution

Of 240g drug then yes you need to use 12g
However google
5% glucose
1% lignocaine
For example and you will see what I mean.
FWIW....I'm an anaesthetist! And drug calculations and dilutions are kinda important!
What is the exact question you've been asked?
