Answer

$2\;mL$.

Work Step by Step

Let the required quantity of the solution is $=x$. Quantity of the solution is proportional to the quantity of streptomycin sulfate. We can write. $\Rightarrow \frac{2.5\;mL}{1000\;mg}=\frac{x}{800\;mg}$ Cross multiply. $\Rightarrow (2.5\;mL)(800\;mg)=x(1000\;mg)$ Divide both sides by $1000\;mg$. $\Rightarrow \frac{(2.5\;mL)(800\;mg)}{(1000\;mg)}=x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2\;mL=x$.
