Question

the pharmacy sends you a vial of 1.5 grams of ampicllin. The instructions state to mix the powders with 9.8ml of sterile water to make a solution of 1.5grams/ 10ml. How much solution would you draw to administer 750mg of ampicillin?

Attempt:

(750mg X 10mL)/ 1500mg= 5mL

Am I correct or am I am missing something with the 9.8mL?
