M = 0.01w
So for a 10 pound dog, m = 0.01(10) = 0.1 mg
Also, since 10 pounds is 1/5 of 50 pounds, then 1/5 of 0.5 mg is 0.1 mg.
With either calculation, the dose is 0.1 mg

Answer:

0.1 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the number of milligrams, m, varies directly with the weight of the dog, w.      

We know that two directly proportional quantities are in form y=kx, where y is directly proportional with x and k is constant of proportionality.

Upon substituting our given variables in inversely proportion, we will get:

m=kw

We have been given that veterinarian knows that a 50-pound dog gets 0.5 milligram of a certain medicine.

Let us find constant of proportionality using our given information.

0.5=k(50)

\frac{0.5}{50}=\frac{50k}{50}

k=0.01

So our required equation would be m=0.01w.

Now, we will substitute w=10 in our equation to solve for medicine needed for a 10-pound dog.

m=0.01(10)

m=0.1

Therefore, the vet will give 0.1 milligrams of medicine to give a 10-pound dog.
