a physician prescribed an antibiotic to be mixed in white petrolatum to produce a 25% antibiotic preparation. The pyscian later changed the protocol to be only 12.5%. How much white petrolatum must be mixed with each 6-oz ointment container of 25% prepartation to make the new 12.5% preparation? Calculate answer in grams.
