If the dosage for a vaccination is 5 cc per animal, how much vaccine is needed for 10 animals?

To determine the amount of vaccine needed for 10 animals, you start by recognizing that each animal requires a dosage of 5 cc. Since there are 10 animals, you can calculate the total dosage required by multiplying the dosage per animal by the number of animals.

So, the calculation would be:

5 cc/animal * 10 animals = 50 cc.

Understanding that 1 cc (cubic centimeter) is equivalent to 1 mL (milliliter), the total dosage of 50 cc converts directly into 50 mL. Therefore, the correct amount of vaccine needed for 10 animals is 50 mL, confirming that the answer is indeed correct. This understanding of unit conversion from cc to mL is crucial in veterinary practices to ensure accurate dosing for treatments and vaccinations.
