H = 40 mcg; Q = 1 mL; D = 12.5 mcg 
 11eeb0a8_7362_9a53_be9b_69afa261097a_TB10476_00 A = 0.3125 * 1 mL 
 
 A = 0.3125, rounded to 0.31 mL 
 
 Amounts less than 1 mL are rounded to the nearest hundredth.
 
 The ordered dose is a little less than a third of the dose on hand, so the answer is reasonable.
