Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding the Problem
We need to determine how many milliliters (ml) of a new solution with a concentration of 3.5% should be administered to a dog. The ratio table provides information about the sedative solutions and their concentrations.
Step 2: Analyzing the Ratio Table
The ratio table shows:
10 ml of sedative in 100 ml of the original solution.
3.5 ml of sedative in 100 ml of the new solution (3.5% concentration).
0.7 ml of sedative corresponds to 1 ml of the new solution.
We need to find the amount \( N \) of the new solution for a dog that requires 30 ml of sedative.
Step 3: Setting Up the Proportion
From the table, we know that 0.7 ml of sedative corresponds to 1 ml of the new solution. We need to find how many ml of the new solution corresponds to 30 ml of sedative.
The proportion is:
\[
\frac{0.7}{1} = \frac{30}{N}
\]
Step 4: Solving the Proportion
To find \( N \), solve the equation:
\[
0.7N = 30
\]
\[
N = \frac{30}{0.7}
\]
\[
N = 42.8571
\]
Final Answer
The amount of the new solution that should be administered to the dog is \(\boxed{42.86 \, \text{ml}}\).
