Question

Since insulin u-100 is 100 units/mL,which of the following shortcuts can be used to convert a dose of u-100 insulin given in units, to mL

Answer 1

Answer:

The shortcuts is

     Divide number of units by 100

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  insulin u-100 is  $L = 100 \ unit /mL$

 From the data given above we see that

           100 units of  insulin u-100 is contained in  1 mL

So         1 unit of  u-100 is contained in  x mL

=>       $x = \frac{1}{100} \ mL$

This means that a unit of  insulin u-100 occupies  $x = \frac{1}{100} \ mL$

So we can represent a single unit of insulin u-100 as  $\frac{1}{100} \ mL$

  Now if 1 unit of insulin u-100 is represented  as    $\frac{1}{100} \ mL$

Then y unites of   insulin u-100  is represented as  z

So

         $z = \frac{y}{100} \ mL$

From the above calculation we can see that the shortcuts to convert  u-100 insulin given in units, to mL is to  divide  number of units by 100
