The problem given above is a conversion problem. To be able to convert from one unit to another, it is important to know the conversion factors we need. Conversion factors are relation of the certain units that would allow us to convert from one system to another. It relates the original unit to another unit. It is used by multiplying or dividing the factor to the original value depending on what is asked. For this case, the factors are 1000 mg is equal to 1 g and 10 dL is equal to 1 L. We do as follows:

95 mg/dl (1 g / 1000 mg) (10 dl / 1 L) = 0.95 g / L
