Answer:

She should add 30 ounces of the 12% vinegar she should add to 40 ounces of the 5% vinegar to obtain the needed vinegar with an 8% acidity level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be ounces of the 12% vinegar she should add to 40 ounces of the 5% vinegar to obtain the needed vinegar with an 8% acidity level.

We have the equation

\frac{(X*0.12)+(40*0.05}{X+40} =0.08 when 8% acidity level is reached.

Solving the equation we have

X*0.12+2=0.08(X+40)=0.08X+3.2

That is 0.12X-0.08X=3.2-2=1.2

Finally 0.04X=1.2 and

X=30

Demerol 45mg and atropine 400mcg/ml give how much per ml to total volume to inject demerol contains 50mg/ml, atropine contains 4
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Volume injected  = 1.65 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of Demerol =45 mg.

density of pre-filled in syringe = 50 mg/ml

Volume = 45/50 = 0.9 ml

For atropine mass = 0.3 mg

density= 400 mcg/ml     [ Note : 1 mcg = 0.001 mg]

volume filled  = 0.3/400(0.001) = 0.75 ml

So, the total volume filled = 0.75+0.9 = 1.65 ml
