Question

calculate the dosage (in milliliters). express your answer to the nearest tenth. assess your answer to determine if it is logic. if the strength available is 1.7 g per ml, how many ml will a 4 g dosage require?

Explanation:

Step1: Set up proportion

Let $x$ be the volume in mL. We have the proportion $\frac{1.7}{1}=\frac{4}{x}$.

Step2: Cross - multiply

$1.7x = 4$.

Step3: Solve for $x$

$x=\frac{4}{1.7}\approx2.4$ mL.

Answer:

$2.4$ mL
