1. A prescription for a suspension calls for a dose of 200mg to be given twice a day. If the
suspension contains 300mg/5ml, how many ml are needed for one dose?

Respuesta :

As the dose is 2 times a day then the first thing we should do is calculate the number of milligrams per day:
 [tex](200) * (2) = 400 mg [/tex]
 Then, we can make the following rule of three:
 300 mg --------> 5 ml
 400 mg --------> x
 From here, we clear the value of x.
 We have then:
 [tex]x = (400/300) * (5) x = 6.67 ml[/tex]
 Answer:
 
6.67 ml are needed for one dose
