Question 950177: How do I solve this problem, step by step please?
Your veterinarian prescribes flea-prevention medicine for your 15-pound cat, Fluffy. The dosage depends on the weight of the cat. The dosage is 0.03 milliliters per pound (mL/lb).
How much medicine should Fluffy get?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You simply multiply the cat's weight by the "0.03 mL per pound"

15*(0.03) = 0.45 mL

the "pound" or "lb" units will cancel leaving just the mL
