Question

Liquid Tylenol has 325 milligrams of acetaminophen per 12.5 milliliters of liquid medicine (a fact that would be commonly abbreviated as 325 mg/12,5 ml). It means that if you could
pour Liquid Tylenol into a 12.5 milliliter cup and separate all of the ingredients, you would find that it contains 325 milligrams of acetaminophen (the active ingredient that relieves pain)
along with some inactive ingredients like flavorings.
The doctor orders 260 milligrams of acetaminophen for a patient. If the patient takes the medicine in the form of Liquid Tylenol, how many milliliters of Liquid Tylenol would he need to
take to get the prescribed amount of acetaminophen?
Choose the two fractions that are multiplied together to calculate the solution using dimensional analysis. You must have the correct two selected before checking your answer to
get credit.
