Question

Pediatricians prescribe 5mL of cough syrup for every 25lb of a child's weight. How many mililiters of cough syrup will the doctor prescribe for Jocelyn who weighs 45lb

Answer 1

Answer:

9 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pediatrician prescribes 5 milliliters of cough syrup for every 25 lb of child weight.

Now, the weight of Jocelyn is 45 lb.

If the rate of prescribing the cough syrup in ml per weight of patients remains constant,

Then we can use the unitary method to get the amount of cough syrup prescribed by the Pediatrician for Jocelyn, and that will be

$\frac{5*45}{25} =9$ ml. (Answer)
