Final answer:
The total volume of cough syrup mixed by the pharmacist is 3.525 liters, obtained by adding 1.55 liters of syrup, 0.725 liters of cherry flavor, and 1.25 liters of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks about the maximum ratio of technicians to pharmacists for compounding, but the provided information does not address ratios. It involves calculations related to a pharmacist mixing cough syrup, which requires an understanding of volumes and unit conversion. To compute the total volume of the cough syrup mixed by the pharmacist, we need to add the volume of syrup, cherry flavor, and water.
The pharmacist mixes 1,550 milliliters of syrup, 725 milliliters of cherry flavor, and 1.25 liters of water. Remembering that 1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters, we can convert everything to liters:
- 1,550 milliliters = 1.55 liters
- 725 milliliters = 0.725 liters
- 1.25 liters is already in liters
We then sum these volumes:
1.55 liters + 0.725 liters + 1.25 liters = 3.525 liters
Therefore, the total volume of the cough syrup once mixed is 3.525 liters.
