Answer:

2ml

Step-by-step explanation:

50mg of some potent agent has to be given every 12 hours.

there is a solution that has a concentration of that agent of 125mg/5ml

we need to administer some part of this solution, which we cannot (or should not) change in its structure.

that means the ratio of agent to overall solution stays the same, no matter how much of the solution we administer.

all we need to do is to transit the ratio of 125/5 to represent 50/x (maintaining the said ratio).

in other words, we need to find how many ml we need to administer, so that 50mg of the agent enter the body.

so,

125/5 = 50/x

125x/5 = 50

25x = 50

x = 50/25 = 2

2ml of the solution needs to be administered every 12 hours.

FORMULA

D ( desired dose) x V ( vehicle- tablet or liquid)

H ( dose on hand)

D = Dose ordered

H = dose on hand or dose on container label

V = form and amount in which drug comes ( tablet, capsule, liquid)

D= 50mg H= 125mg V= 5ml

50 x 5

125

250 divided by 125 = 2ml

So, 2ml of elixir is administered every 12 hours :) brainliest pls

So,

This is simple multiplication once you've converted the percentage to a decimal.

At the bright-as-day light bulb factory, 5 out of each 136 bulbs produced are defective. If the daily production is 2720 bulbs,
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

100 lightbulbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically find the percentage of lightbulbs that are bad. 5/136. So about 3. 6 percent. I'm going to use a more exact form of this percent for my calculations though. Now use the decimal for of this (0.036....) and multiply it by 2720. Using my exact decimal, the answer just so happened to be exactly 100. So there will be 100 defective lightbulbs per day. (Teachers are a stickler for units, so don't forget them if it's for a teacher)

Hope this helps!
