Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

To find the volume (in mL) to administer, we use the formula: \( \text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{\text{Desired Dose (mg)}}{\text{Dose per mL (mg/mL)}} \)

Step2: Plug in the values

Desired dose is 650 mg, and dose per mL is 125 mg/mL. So, \( \text{Volume} = \frac{650}{125} \)

Step3: Calculate the result

\( \frac{650}{125} = 5.2 \)

Answer:

5.2 (corresponding to the option "5.2")
