Calculate levels of lead in blood; density, concentrations, etc

44. The concentrations of lead in blood samples are often reported in units of micromoles of lead per liter of blood. Calculate the value of the concentration in these units of a blood sample containing 45 ppb lead, assuming that the density of blood is one gram per milliliter.

Please only answer if you're 100% positive! My computer program is picky and likes to tell me the answers are wrong! Thanks :)
