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.

Answer:
a. 1 tsp
b. [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] tsp
Step-by-step 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
[tex]x=\frac{18 kg* (1/2 tsp)}{9 kg}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{9 tsp}{9}[/tex]
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
[tex]x=\frac{6 kg* (1/4 tsp)}{1 kg}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{6/4 tsp}{1}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{3}{2}tsp[/tex]
[tex]x=1\frac{1}{2}tsp[/tex]
