100 milligrams for every 5 pounds

2000/5=400 doses  

400*100=40,000 milligrams= 40 grams

How  many grams of the medication should the feed company add for each ton of feed they produce is 40 grams/ton.

First step is to calculate the milligrams per pound

Milligrams per pound=300mg/15lbs

Milligrams per pound=20mg/lb  

Now let calculate the amount of grams

Number of grams=2000 lb/ton×(20 mg/1000mg)

Number of grams=2000 lb/ton×0.02 g/lb

Number of grams=40 grams/ton

Inconclusion how  many grams of the medication should the feed company add for each ton of feed they produce is 40 grams/ton.
