Answer:

178.5mcg

Explanation:

If you need 5000 per 125mcg, we can express it as;

5000 = 125mcg

To get the amount of mcg needed for 7140, we will say;

7140 = x mcg

Divide both expression

5000/7140 = 125/x

Cross multiply

5000x x= 7140 * 125

5000x = 892,500

x = 892,500/5000

x = 178.5

Hence the amount og mcg needed is 178.5mcg
