Answer:
The correct answer is 7.5 ml
Explanation:
The medicine contains 100 mg in 5 ml, that means that the concentration of the active ingredient is 100 mg/5 ml= 20 mg/ml
If we divide a concentration (in mg/ml) into a mass (in mg) we obtaine a volume (in mL). Thus, in order to calculate the mililiters of medicine which contain 150 mg of the active, we have to only divide mass (150 mg) into the concentration of active ingredient as follows:
mL =
= 7.5 mL
Lots of hand waving as is in the current field of much of molecular biology. Other than that experiments and observations. Basically the utilization of the scientific method and then trying to find the mechanism by which something occurs through even more research/experimentation.
