The conversion of 60 mg to cc results in approximately 0.0600 cc.
Since milligrams (mg) measure mass and cubic centimeters (cc) measure volume, converting requires knowing the substance’s density. For example, if the substance’s density is 1 g/cc, then 60 mg (which is 0.060 g) equals 0.060 cc. Without density, the conversion is based on this assumption.
Conversion Result
60 mg equals about 0.0600 cc assuming a density of 1 g/cc.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert mg to cc depends on the density (ρ) of the substance, expressed as cc per gram. The basic formula is:
Volume (cc) = Mass (mg) / (Density (g/cc) × 1000)
This works because mg is converted to grams by dividing by 1000, then divided by density to get volume in cc. For example, with a density of 1 g/cc, 60 mg becomes 0.060 g, which then equals 0.060 cc.
Conversion Example
- Convert 100 mg to cc assuming density of 1 g/cc:
- 100 mg = 0.1 g
- Volume = 0.1 g / 1 g/cc = 0.1 cc
- Convert 50 mg to cc:
- 50 mg = 0.05 g
- Volume = 0.05 g / 1 g/cc = 0.05 cc
- Convert 75 mg to cc:
- 75 mg = 0.075 g
- Volume = 0.075 g / 1 g/cc = 0.075 cc
- Convert 200 mg to cc:
- 200 mg = 0.2 g
- Volume = 0.2 g / 1 g/cc = 0.2 cc

Conversion Definitions
mg (milligram) measures mass or weight, equal to one-thousandth of a gram, used for small quantities of substances, especially medicines. It indicates how heavy a substance is, not its volume, which depends on density and shape of the substance.
cc (cubic centimeter) measures volume, equivalent to milliliters, used to describe the space occupied by a substance. It is a unit used in medicine, chemistry, and cooking to specify the size of liquids or solids in volume terms.
Conversion FAQs
How does density affect converting mg to cc?
The density of a substance determines how mass relates to volume. Higher density means more mass per volume, so converting mg to cc requires dividing by the density. If density varies, the conversion result changes accordingly, affecting accuracy.
Is the conversion from mg to cc always accurate?
No, unless the density of the substance is precisely known, the conversion is an approximation. Using a density of 1 g/cc simplifies calculations but may not reflect the actual volume for different materials, leading to potential errors.
Can I convert mg to cc for any substance?
Only if you know the density. Different substances have different densities, so a conversion factor must be applied. Without knowing the density, the mg to cc conversion remains an estimate, assuming a standard density of 1 g/cc.
