A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are 5 milliliters of compound A used for every 8 milliliters of compound B. If a chemist wants to make 1014 milliliters of the drug, how many milliliters of compound B are needed?

Notice that 8/13 of every ml is made of compond B

So.....(8/13) * 1014 = 624 ml
