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 20 milligrams of Medication A with 16 milligrams of Medication B. However this week, the doctor said to only use 8 milligrams of Medication B. How many milligrams of Medication A should be mixed this week?

Answer:

10 milligrams of Medication A

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll write proportions/ratios for this:

20:16 is the usual proportion, and x:8 is this week's dose. The ratio from A to B has to be equal, so

20/16 = x/8

Cross-multiply:

(20)(8) = (16)(x)

160 = 16x

divide both sides by 16

x = 10

A copier prints 80 pages in 5 minutes.
DochEvi [55]
The correct answer is D, 16 pages per minute. A unit rate is a ratio of something to one; in this case, the ratio is 16:1, or 16 pages to 1 minute. To get the unit rate for this problem, divide both numbers by 5 to get how many pages will be printed per 1 minute. 80/5 = 16, so the copier prints 16 pages in 1 minute. Answer choices A and B are not unit rates, and answer choice C is the incorrect unit rate.

Hope this helps!
