The physician orders 125 mg of a medication. on hand is a bottle that reads 500 mg/5ml. How much should the medical assistant ad
1 answer:
If there are 500 mg of medicine in 5 ml of liquid, we need to set up a proportion to find out how much liquid medication has 125 mg of medicine in it. Set up the proportion as follows:
.
Cross multiply to get 500x = 625. Divide by 500 to get that you need 1.25 ml of liquid if your dose is 125 mg of medicine.

So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
whatever they're, we know a + b = 56
let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12
and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12
so
solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's b? well, b = 56 - a
whatever they're, we know a + b = 56
let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12
and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12
so
solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's b? well, b = 56 - a
