The strength 0.294 % w/v means, there is 0.294 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, `(0.294 \quad g)/(100\quad mL)=((0.294/0.294)\quad g)/(100/0.294\quad mL)=(1\quad g)/(340\quad mL)`.
Therefore, the ratio strength is 1 : 340.
