(Selectable areas, or "Hot Spots," can be found by moving your cursor over the artwork until the cursor changes appearance, usually into a hand. Click only on the Hot Spot that corresponds to your answer.)

Explanation
To calculate the correct dosage, we can use the following formula:
Desired dose / Available dose = Volume to administer
Plugging in the values, we get:
25 mg / 50 mg/5 ml = Volume to administer
Simplifying, we get:
0.5 ml = Volume to administer
