Answer:
the trainee calculated the incorrect amount
It should be 0.5 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
The physician orders penicillin 500,000 units for a patient while the concentration of the drug you have is 1,000,000 units/ 1mL. It's clear that 1mL drug is too much for the patient since 1,000,000 units are higher than 500,000 units.
The amount of penicillin in 1.5 mL will be definitely higher than 1,000,000 units, so it must be a lot higher than the physician's orders. We can roughly guess that the trainee draws an incorrect amount.
To calculate the exact volume you need, you have to divide the amount of the drug you need with the concentration of the drug. The calculation will be:
the volume needed = amount of the drug you need/ concentration of the drug
volume needed = 500,000 units / (1,000,000 units/ 1mL)= 1/2 mL = 0.5 mL
Answer:
- 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is - 5 + - 4 + 7
You do addition first.
-4 + 7 = 3
So now we have - 5 + 3
-5 + 3 = - 2
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
It suffices to equate any two sides and then check whether the solution is valid for the third side.
Taking 2x and 3x-4 and equating:
2x = 3x-4
x = 4
This means the sides are both of length 8. Now check whether for x=4 the third side is also of length 8:
x+4=4+4=8
which indeed works out confirming x=4 being a valid solution
Answer:
$49
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the discounted price is $43.61 and this was at an 11% discount
hence the discounted price represents 100% - 11% = 89% of the original price.
if:
89% of original price = $43.61
1% of original price = $(43.61 / 89)
100% of original price = $(43.61 / 89) x 100 = $49
