Answer:

His daily dosage is 199.6 mg divided in four doses of 49.9 mg. The Nurse needs to draw 2.495 mL from a medicine that comes in 100mg/5mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the daily dose we first need to find the mass of the Patient in kg. To do that we need to divide his weigh in lbs by 2.205.

weigh = \frac{22}{2.205} = 9.98 \text{ kg}

Since he needs to take 20 mg of drug per kg of body in a day, we need to multiply his weigh by this dosage:

\text{daily dosage} = 9.98*20 = 199.6 \text{ mg}

Each individual dose must be \frac{1}{4} of his daily dose, so:

\text{each dose} = \frac{199.6}{4} = 49.9 \text{ mg}

Since the medicine comes in 100mg /5 mL, the nurse needs:

\text{volume of dose} = \frac{49.9}{100}*5 = 2.495 \text{ mL}

The difference of two numbers is equal to 0.6. Their quotient is also 0.6. What are the numbers? There are 4
Makovka662 [10]
Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
  x - y = 0.6
  y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
  x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude

The solution of the first pair of equations is
  (x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)

The solution of the first and last equations is
  (x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)

The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.
