Answer

$516.59\text{ mg}$

Work Step by Step

Convert ounces to grams: $1\text{ ounce}=28.3495\text{ g}$ $8.2\text{ oz}\times 28.3495=232.466\text{ g}$ Calculate fluoride content: Toothpaste contains 1.00 mg of fluoride per gram: $232.466\text{ g}\times 1.00\text{ mg/g}=232.466\text{ mg}$ Calculate $NaF$ needed to supply that fluoride: $\text{ NaF mass}=\frac{232.466\text{ mg}}{0.45}\approx 516.59\text{ mg}$
