If a person follows the recommended 8 glasses of 8 ounces of liquid intake and has an output of 1,500 mL, what is their net liquid gain / loss?Question 7: Dymelor 0.75 g is ordered. Scored tablets are labeled 500 mg. each. How many tablets will you give?

Answer 1

Given:

The intake of liquid is 8 glasses of 8 ounces.

The output fluid is 1500 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the intake of liquid in terms of ml.

`8\cdot8oz\cdot\frac{29.57\text{ ml}}{1\text{ oz}}=1892.48\text{ ml}`

The net fluid gain/loss is equal to the difference between input and output fluid. So net gain/loss of net liquid is,

`1892.48-1500=392.48`

Thus gain/loss of the net liquid is, 392.48 ml.
