What is the arithmetic to convert 2.5 mg in 0.5 mL into units on a U-100 scale?

Conditions: 2.5 mg · 0.5 mL.

I want the working, not the result — I need to be able to redo it with different numbers.

I care about the precision as well as the value — I want to know how many figures are real.

Is my approach right even if my number is wrong?
