Answer:

The patient will receive 2 whole tablets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of the drug to be administered can be expressed as;

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=Dose per weight of patient×weight of patient

where;

Dose per weight of patient=7.5 mg per kg

weight of patient=110 lb

1 kilogram=2.205 lb

weight of patient in kilograms=110/2.205=49.89 kilograms

replacing;

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=Dose per weight of patient×weight of patient

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=(7.5×49.89)=374.175 mg

Total weight of tablets=374.175 mg

Total weight of tablets=weight per tablet×number of tablets

where;

Total weight of tablets=374.175 mg

Weight per tablet=0.125 g

1 gram=1000 mg

Weight per tablet in mg=(1,000×0.125)=125 mg

Number of tablets=n

replacing;

Total weight of tablets=weight per tablet×number of tablets

374.175=125×n

n=374.175/125

n=2.9934

The patient will receive 2 whole tablets.

1/2 a =11<br> what does a mean????
yan [13]
‘a’ is a variable
so this means something multiplied by 1/2 = 11
to solve we will divide both sides by 1/2 to isolate ‘a’
so a= 22

you can verify by plugging 22 into a

so

(1/2)(22)=11
which is true
