Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Required Dosage
We need to administer 65 mg of Benadryl to the Bulldog.
Step 2: Identify the Concentration of the Solution
The concentration of the Benadryl solution is \(50 \, \text{mg/mL}\).
Step 3: Calculate the Volume Required
To find the volume \(V\) in mL that contains 65 mg of Benadryl, we use the formula:
\[
V = \frac{\text{Required Dosage}}{\text{Concentration}}
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
V = \frac{65 \, \text{mg}}{50 \, \text{mg/mL}} = 1.3 \, \text{mL}
\]
