Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
You want a field of mT inside a long solenoid, with a current of no more than A. How many turns in each metre does it need? The tube is cm long and cm across. How many turns are needed in all, and how long is the wire?
A long solenoid has inside, with . A toroid has inside the ring, and in the hole and outside. Take .

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Given. T, A, m, m.
Step 1. Turns in each metre. .
Step 2. Total turns. .
Step 3. The wire. One turn is m. So the length is m.
Answer: turns in each metre, turns, and m of wire.
Check. A tube cm long with turns needs a wire thinner than mm in one layer. A thin wire is reasonable.
