Answer:

x = 1 ml drug should given

Explanation:

Total amount of astropine sulphate is 200 mg

concentration of astropine sulphate in solution is 200 mg/ml

let the x ml be the total amount of drug that should given.

for 1 ml we have 200 mg concentration of astropine solution

and for 200 mg of total amount of drug we have ......?

from above data we have following relation


(200)/(1) = (200)/(x)


200 = 200* x

x = 1 ml
