Answer 1

Answer:

1.0

Explanation:

If the cat weighs 10.00lbs and is being given a medication with the dosage of 1mg/1lb and the medication dosage is 10mg/ml you would want to inject the cat with 1.0ml of said medication.  

The cat needs 10mg of medication(1 mg per each pound it weighs).  The medication is 10mg/1ml.  Therefore, the cat needs 1.0ml
