Question

As a nurse, part of your daily duties is to mix medications in the proper proportions for your patients. For one of your regular patients, you always mix Medication A with Medication B in the same proportion. Last week, your patient's doctor indicated that you should mix 80 milligrams of Medication A with 48 milligrams of Medication B. However this week, the doctor said to only use 6 milligrams of Medication B. How many milligrams of Medication A should be mixed this week?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey! I see you need some help, I gotchu.so heres what i got,

Medication A: 32 would be the main answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Week 1- even medication from A and medication B

Week2- Medication A: 80 milligrams    Medication B: 48 milligrams

week 3- Medication A:?              Medication B: 6

They seem to be reducing it by 42, so 48-42=6 (medication B)

So therefore, 80-42=32. would be for medication A
