A certain mixture calls for 6mg of amoxycillin to 15 liters of water How many liters of water would you need for 12mg of amoxycillin?
6*2=12, right?
15*2= ???

To find the answer, we can set up a proportion to determine the ratio of amoxicillin to water in the mixture.
The given ratio is 6 mg of amoxicillin to 15 liters of water. Let's express this ratio as a fraction: 6 mg / 15 L.
Now, we need to find how many liters of water are required for 12 mg of amoxicillin. Let's assume we need x liters of water. The ratio for this situation can be expressed as 12 mg / x L.
To solve the proportion, we can set up the equation:
6 mg / 15 L = 12 mg / x L
To solve for x, we cross-multiply:
6 mg * x L = 12 mg * 15 L
Simplifying the equation gives:
6x = 180
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 6:
x = 180 / 6
x = 30
Therefore, you would need 30 liters of water for 12 mg of amoxicillin.
