If your veterinarian knows the weight of the animal and you are told to give 100 MG of a medication the concentration on the bottle is 200 MG for every 10 ML how many ML should you give calculate and show your work

Answer: 5 ML

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply proportions:

Since the concentration of medication on the bottle is 200 MG for every 10 ML, the proportion is:

200MG / 10 ML

For 100 MG:

100 MG / x ML

Where x is the number of ML.

So:

200/10 = 100/x

Solving for x:

x = 100 / (200/10)

x = 5 ML.
