8/100 = x/175
cross multiply
(100)(x) = (8)(175)
100x = 1400
x = 1400/100
x = 14.....so 14 vials will treat 175 people

The number of vials is required to treat 175 people should be 14.

Calculation of the number of vials:

Since

A health department estimates that 8 vials of malaria serum will treat 100 people.

So, here

8/100 = x/175

we have to do cross multiply

(100)(x) = (8)(175)

100x = 1400

x = 1400/100

x = 14

hence, The number of vials is required to treat 175 people should be 14.
