A pharmacist receives a special request from an ophthalmologist to prepare a fortified tobramycin ophthalmic solution.

Harrizon [31]3 years ago

Answer:

2/7 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a solution expressed in Q mg/ml, the concentration is (Q/10)%.

For example, a solution of 3 mg/ml is a 3/10=0.3% concentration solution, a solution of 40 mg/ml is a 40/10=4% concentration solution.

<em>Why? </em>

Q mg/ml means that 1 ml of solution has Q mg of the drug or active component. So, 100 ml have 100*Q mg.

But 100*Q mg = Q/10 grams.

If a solution has Q/10 grams in 100 ml, then it is a (Q/10)% concentration.

Now, we have 5 ml of a solution that contains tobramycin, 3 mg/ml (each ml has 3 mg of tobramycin).

This means that the 5 ml contain 15 mg of  tobramycin.

On the other hand, we have another solution S containing 40 mg/ml of tobramycin. This means that each ml of S contains 40 mg of tobramycin.

Let x be the amount of ml of S we have to add to our first 5 ml.

If 1 ml of S contains 40 mg of  tobramycin, x ml contain 40*x mg.

If we add this x ml to our first 5 ml, we have 5+x ml containing 15+40*x mg of  tobramycin.  

Now, cross-multiply to get how much tobramycin contains 1 ml of this new solution.

5+x ml ____contain____15+40*x mg of  tobramycin

   1 ml ____contains____? mg

And we have

\large \frac{5+x}{1}=\frac{15+40x}{?}\Rightarrow ?=\frac{15+40x}{5+x}

as a result, we have a solution of  

\large \frac{15+40x}{5+x}\;mg/ml

We want to prepare a solution 0.5% in concentration.

Using what we state at the beginning, we need to find a value x such that

\large \frac{(15+40x)/(5+x)}{10}=0.5

solving for x

\large \frac{(15+40x)/(5+x)}{10}=0.5\Rightarrow \frac{15+40x}{5+x}=5\Rightarrow 15+40x=25+5x\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow 40x-5x=25-15\Rightarrow 35x=10\Rightarrow x=10/35=2/7 \;ml

So, we have to add just 2/7 ml of the stronger solution.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

oto begin you should know that all triangles contain 180 degrees and that a flat line contains 180 degrees as well. This means that in order to find this answer you should begin by calculating the remianing angle in the traingle. This is done by 180-(95+51) and gives and angle of 34 degrees. Then take 180-(95+35) in order to get x. This gives an x of 51.

Hope this helps!

Mrs Smith is completing a mathematics problem. She knows when 6 is added to four times a number, the result is 50. What would be
Lesechka [4]

EXPLANATION:

-To formulate an equation, you must first know what data the exercise gives us to locate them correctly.

data:

-6 that must be added to a number.

-four times a number that is equal to 4x

-a result that is equal to 50

Now with these data we formulate the equation:

\begin{gathered} \text{Equation:} \\ 6+4x=50;\text{  } \end{gathered}

if we solve the equation we have:

\begin{gathered} 6\text{ }+4x=50 \\ 4x=50-6 \\ 4x=44 \\ x=\frac{44}{4} \\ x=-\frac{22}{2} \\ x=\text{ }-11 \end{gathered}

The height of one tank of capacity 30 cubic feet is 5.0 feet. What would be the height of a tank, with an equally sized base, of
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{4.5 ft}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a tank is

V = base × height

If we are comparing two tanks with equal bases,

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} & = & \dfrac{h_{2}}{h_{1} }\\\\\dfrac{27}{30} & = & \dfrac{h_{2}}{5.0}\\\\0.90 & = & \dfrac{h_{2}}{5.0}\\\\h_{2} & = & \textbf{4.5 ft}\\\end{array}\\\text{The height of the second tank would be $\large \boxed{\textbf{4.5 ft}}$}
