The amount of grams of phosphorus that are recommended is 0.700 g
Why?
This is an unit conversion problem. To convert between units we use conversion factors. In this case the conversion factor we want is from mg to g, and this is relatively simple: 1000 mg = 1 g. Now, we arrange the quantities in the following way:
[tex]700 mg P*\frac{1g}{1000mg}=0.700 g[/tex]
Conversion factors are really useful for converting units! Just remember to put the unit you don't want at the bottom, and the one you want at the top.
Have a nice day!

Answer:
0.700mg
Explanation:
Elemental Phosphorus is probably different than supplement phosphorus. We cannot ingest red, yellow, or white phosphorus.
So 700mg of something is technically .7grams of that something, but supplemental phosphorus would weigh a bit more per volume of supplement because it would contain other atoms besides just phosphorus, to allow it to become BIOAVAILABLE. So depending on the molecular makeup of that edible phosphorus it may weigh 2grams per .7gram of pure phosphorus, or it could weigh 1.4grams or .9grams…. anything over that original .7grams
700mg of phosphorus is .7grams pure, but you will consume more than .7grams to get it in your system.
