    The answer is 25 mcg.

    Let's first convert units.

    1 g = 1000 mg

    0.015 g = x

    Make the proportion:

    1 g : 1000 mg = 0.015 g : x

    x = 0.015 g * 1000 mg : 1 g

    x = 15 mg

    Therefore, 0.015 g = 15 mg

    Now make the proportion:

    15 mg contains 25 mcg.

    15 mg contains x.

    15 mg : 25 mcg = 15 mg : x

    x = 15 mg * 25 mcg : 15 mg

    x = 25 mcg
