Question

A doctor prescribes her patient a 20-mg dose of medicine, and the medicine has a concentration of 80 mg/ml. How much

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25 ml

Explanation:

It is given that,

Dosage of medicine = 20 mg

The medicine has a concentration of 80 mg/ml

We need to find how much medication will the patient receive. It can be calculated as follows :

$\text{Dosage}=\dfrac{20\ mg}{80\ mg/ml}\\\\=\dfrac{20}{80}\ \text{ml}\\\\=0.25\ \text{ml}$

So, the patient will receive 0.25 ml. Hence, the correct option is (a).
