the concentration of a drug in a certain medication is 100mg/5mL. A patient is prescribed 2000mg of the drug. how much medication should be given to the patient



Answer :

Answer:

100 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient should get 2000 mg of the drug, the question that is left to answer is:
How many mL of the medication should be given to the patient?

First, with the given quota, we can calculate how many servings of 5 mL the patient should get:

2000 mg / 100 mg = 20

Those 20 servings of 5 mL, can be multiplied by the size of each of the servings: 5mL:

20 * 5 mL = 100 mL

Therefore the patient should be given 100 mL of the medicine
