Answer 1

3) For 1 Kg, 50 mg is given.

50 mg is present in 1 ml.

Hence, For 1 Kg, dosage is 1 ml

For 1000 g, dosage is 1 ml

a) For 60 g, dosage is 1×60/1000 ml = 0.06 ml

b) For 610 g, dosage is 1×610/1000 ml = 0.61 ml

4) 1 pound = 0.454 Kg

For 1 Kg, dosage is 0.04 mg

For 0.454 Kg, dosage is 0.04×0.454 mg = 0.01816 mg

b) 0.54 mg is Present in 1 ml

0.01816 mg is Present in 1×0.01816/0.54 ml = 0.0336 ml
