Hi ^^

-------------------------

Solution:

Step one- Set up a ratio:

· Originally the ratio was: 110:143, make that equivalent to x:117

-->  110/143 = x/117 <-- notice this is A/B = A/B

--> to solve for x, just multiply by 117

x = 110 * 117 / 143 = 90 mg

·You should use 90 mg of medication A

oki baiiii ^^

Answer 2

ANSWER:

Let no of mg of Medication A should be mixed this week be x.

By inverse proportionality,

120/180 = 165/x

120x = 29700

x = 29700/120

x = 247.5

Hence, 247 and half mg of Medication A should be mixed this week.
