Answer 20

If you need 10 mg of a drug and multiply with 0.4 mg/mL, you get some nonsense.
If you divide 10 mg with 0.4 mg/ml, you will get a volume...

Answer 21

i just dont understand.

Answer 22

(10 mg) / 0.4 mg/mL) = 25 mL

Answer 23

And so, if you know the volume of a teaspoon, you can get the amount of teaspoons that is.

Answer 25

Indeed, (25 ml) / (5 ml/teaspooon) = 5 teaspoons

Answer 26

Note that "/" means "per".
