The strength 0.143 % w/v means, there is 0.143 g of drug dissolved in each 100 mL of the solution. We need to convert this to a suitable ratio which has 1 in the numerator. Therefore, `(0.143 \quad g)/(100\quad mL)=((0.143/0.143)\quad g)/(100/0.143\quad mL)=(1\quad g)/(700\quad mL)`.
Therefore, the ratio strength is 1 : 700.
