The doctor gave 6.5ml of a medication. The strength of the medication is 15mg/ml. How many mgs did the doctor give the patient?


To calculate how many milligrams (mg) the doctor gave the patient, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Total dose (mg)} = \text{Volume (ml)} \times \text{Strength (mg/ml)}
\]

Given:
- Volume = 6.5 ml
- Strength = 15 mg/ml

Now calculate:

\[
\text{Total dose (mg)} = 6.5 \, \text{ml} \times 15 \, \text{mg/ml} = 97.5 \, \text{mg}
\]

So, the doctor gave the patient **97.5 mg** of the medication.

4. What would happen if the patient only received 5 ml of this medication?
5. How do you calculate medication doses based on body weight?

**Tip:** Always double-check both the volume and concentration of medications to ensure proper dosing.
