CALCULATIONS AND ANSWERS:

1.  35/50 X 1/1 = 35/50 = 0.7 ml

2.  50/125 X 5/1 = 250/125 = 2 ml

3.  30/10 X 1/1 = 30/10 = 3 ml

4.  20/50 X 1/1 = 20/50 = 0.4 ml

5.  50/250 X 10/1 = 500/250 = 2 ml

6.  75/50 X 1/1 = 75/50 = 1.5 ml

7.  25/50 X 5/1 = 125/50 = 2.5 ml

8.  5/40 X 2/1= 10/40 = 0.25 ml

9.  75/250 X 10/1 = 750/250 = 3 ml

10. 200/600 X 6/1 = 1200/600 = 2 ml
