In this problem, represents the sea level. Since Dominic is
feet below the surface (sea level), his current location is at
feet.
The same concept can be applied to Karen, who is at feet.
We need to find who is lower, or farther below . This means the answer is
.
The answer is: The correct dose of medication to give is 5.6 mL
<h2>Why?</h2>To solve this problem we need to establish a relationship between the prescripted medication and the available solution.
Let's write the needed equations to establish the relantionship:
The available solution means 125 mg each 5 mL of solution, so:
Hence, the correct dose of medication to give is 5.6 mL of the 125 mg/5mL solution.
Have a nice day!
