Question

The Vet Tech orders 40 mcg of a certain drug. The drug is available in a solution of 25 mcg per 5 cc. How many cc should be given?

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

25 mcg / 5 cc = 40 mcg / x cc

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

25 mcg * x cc = 5 cc * 40 mcg

25x = 200

x = 200 / 25

x = 8

Therefore, to administer 40 mcg of the drug, the Vet Tech should give 8 cc of the solution.
