Answer:
a) 1 unit per hour will be infused.
b) 5mL per hour will be infused.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each question can be solved as a rule of three with direct measures, that means we have a cross multiplication.
a. How many units per hour will be infused?
20 units are going to be infused in 20 hours. How many units are going to be infused each hour?
1 hour - x units
20 hours - 20 units
1 unit per hour will be infused.
b. How many milliliters per hour will be infused?
100mL are going to be infused in 20 hours. How many mL are going to be infused each hour?
1 hour - x mL
20 hours - 100 mL
5mL per hour will be infused.
Let be the volume of 20% solution,
the volume of the 60% solution. We want a total volume of 400 mL in the final mixture, so
Each mL of either solution will contribute a corresponding concentration, and in the final mixture we want the 400 mL to have a 40% concentration, which means we should also have
Solve the system and we get .
