How many vial-days does a 5 mg vial give at 3.33 mg/mL on a weekly schedule?

Stated plainly: 5 mg · 3.33 mg/mL.

The units are where I keep going wrong, so please be explicit about them.

I have sanity-checked the order of magnitude and it seems right, which is not the same as being right.

Where is my error, and what is the correct working?
