make it into a fractional equation: 2.0ml/40lbs. = ?/6lbs

~~invert and multiply... 6lbs/1 * 2.0ml./40lbs.
~~ the lbs cancel out, then find common multiplier for the 6 and 40 to divide through, which is a 2.... so
~~ 3/1 * 2.0ml./20= ?ml
~~ multiply 3 and 2 and divide through by 20

= 6.0 mil/20=.3 ml for a 6lb dog. If the dog is three lbs. just place the 3lbs in instead of the 6lbs and then redo the math....
