0.72 mL of solution will have 180 mg of amoxicillin. For this problem, you need to calculate the equivalent ratio of volume as to the ratio of amoxicillin. So 180/500 = X/2.0 Multiply both sides by 2 2 * 180/500 = X 360/500 = X 18/25 = X 0.72 = X So you need 0.72 mL of solution to get 180 mg of the drug.
