Answer: 5 ML

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply proportions:

Since the concentration of medication on the bottle is 200 MG for every 10 ML, the proportion is:

200MG /10 ML

For 100 MG:

100 MG / x ML

Where x is the number of ML.

So:

200/10 = 100/x

Solving for x:

x = 100 / (200/10)

x = 5 ML.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
