To determine how many milliliters (mL) of Amoxi-Inject (250 mg/mL) you would administer to meet the prescribed dose of **amoxicillin 500 mg**, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{\text{Dose (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/mL)}}
\]

### Step-by-step solution:

1. **Prescribed dose**: 500 mg.
2. **Concentration of the supply**: 250 mg/mL.

Now, calculate the volume:

\[
\text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{500 \, \text{mg}}{250 \, \text{mg/mL}} = 2 \, \text{mL}
\]

So, you would administer **2 mL** per dose.

Since the prescription is **t.i.d. (three times a day)**, you would give 2 mL three times a day.
