shroob 9 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I need to give some antibiotics. The powder is mixed with water and the directions are... 5 gms to 2 gallons of water. I dont need 2 gallons of water so would like to know...What gramme would be needed per litre please? 2 Gallons of water = 5 grams of medicine so: 1 Gallon of water = 2.5 grams of medicine. 1 gallon of water = 4.54 litres of water (so 2.5 grams of medicine) 4.54 litres divide by 4.54 = 1 litre. 2.5 (grams of medicine) divide by 4.54 = 0.55 grams of medicine per litre of water. Thats how I work it out anyway. I am not a doctor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Scratch what I said, I worked it out on 5 grams to 1 gallon.. ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SEAN3513 7 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 0.55g per litre 2 gallon = 9.08 l therefore 5 (g) divided by 9.08 (l) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 31,602 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 The answer is actually 1.816 grams..........just under 2 to a normal person Just to correct myself its 1.816 litres to 1 gram not the other way round Disecting litres of water is far easier than disecting grams of powder,keep it simple and all that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
