Complete Correct Question

Animals: The label on a bottle of pet vitamins lists dosage guidelines. What dosage would you give to each of these animals? (a) a 18 kg adult dog (b) a 6 kg cat (c) 18 kg pregnant dog

- The dosage listed for adult dog is 1/2 tsp per 9 kg dog weight.

- The dosage listed for adult cat is 1/4 tsp per 1 kg weight.

- The dosage listed for pregnant dog is 1/2 tsp per 4.5 kg dog weight.

Solution

a) 18 kg adult dog

The dosage listed for adult dog is 1/2 tsp per 9 kg dog weight.

9 kg dog weight = (1/2) tsp

18 kg adult dog = (18/9) × (1/2) = 1 teaspoon.

b) 6 kg cat

The dosage listed for adult cat is 1/4 tsp per 1 kg weight.

1 kg cat = (1/4) tsp

6 kg cat = (6/1) × (1/4) = (6/4) = 1.5 teaspoons.

c) 18 kg pregnant dog

The dosage listed for pregnant dog is 1/2 tsp per 4.5 kg dog weight.

4.5 kg dog weight = (1/2) tsp

18 kg pregnant dog = (18/4.5) × (1/2) = 2 teaspoons.

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer 2

The question is incomplete. The label is attached.

Answer:

a. 1 tsp

b.
`1(1)/(2)` tsp

Explanation:

a. A 18 kg adult dog:

The label indicates that an adult dog requires 1/2 tsp per 9 kg body weight:

9 kg → 1/2 tsp

18 kg → x

`x=(18 kg* (1/2 tsp))/(9 kg)`

`x=(9 tsp)/(9)`

x= 1 tsp

b. a 6 kg cat:

The label indicates that a cat requires 1/4 tsp per 1 kg body weight:

1 kg → 1/4 tsp

6 kg → x

`x=(6 kg* (1/4 tsp))/(1 kg)`

`x=(6/4 tsp)/(1)`

`x=(3)/(2)tsp`

`x=1(1)/(2)tsp`
