Answer:

9 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dosage of insulin is 90 mg

The concentration of insulin is 10 mg/mL

We need to find how many milliliters of the solution do you need to give the patient. It can be calculated as follows :


x=\frac{90\ \text{mg}}{10\frac{\text{mg}}{\text{mL}}}\\\\x=(9)/(1)\ \text{mL}

So, 9 mL of the solution is to be given to the patient.
