ANSWER.

* Calculation of amount needed for 800 mcg dosage.

                Formula = Desired dose / Dose in hand * Quantity.

           Here

              Desired dose = 800 mcg.

              Dose in hand = 1 mg.

       Convert 1 mg to mcg for calculation

               1 mg = 1000 mcg.

      So

        Dose in hand = 1000 mcg.

                    Quantity = 1 ml.

     As per formula

             Amount needed for 800 mcg dose = 800 / 1000 * 1

                                                                     = 0.8 ml.
