To determine how many milligrams (mg) were administered, we start with the concentration of the solution: 5 mg per 2 ml.
First, we find out how many mg are in 1 ml of the solution:
\[
\text{Concentration per ml} = \frac{5 \text{ mg}}{2 \text{ ml}} = 2.5 \text{ mg/ml}
\]
Now that we know there are 2.5 mg in every 1 ml, we can find out how many mg are in 3 ml:
\[
\text{Amount administered} = 3 \text{ ml} \times 2.5 \text{ mg/ml} = 7.5 \text{ mg}
\]
Therefore, 7.5 mg were administered to the patient.
