Question

8. A 140-pound female has three mixed drinks one right after the other.

Answer 1

The BAC of the female is an illustration of proportion

• The BAC after consuming the three drinks is 0.029w
• The BAC three hours after consuming the drinks is 0.087 w

How to calculate the BAC?

BAC is calculated using:

BAC = Alcohol consumed/(Body Weight * R)

The weight is given as:

Body weight = 140 lb

Convert to kg

Body weight = 63.5 kg

For female

R = 0.55

So, we have:

BAC = Alcohol/(63.5 * 0.55)

BAC = Alcohol/34.925

BAC = 0.029Alcohol

The weight or volume of the alcohol consumed is given.

So, we represent it with w.

BAC = 0.029w

Hence, the BAC after consuming the three drinks is 0.029w

How to calculate the BAC after 3 hours?

We have:

BAC1 = 0.029w

Time (t) = 3 hours

The BAC after 3 hours is

BAC = BAC1 * (t - 0.015)

So, we have:

BAC = 0.029w * (3 - 0.015)

Evaluate the product

BAC = 0.087w

Hence, the BAC three hours after consuming the drinks is 0.087 w
