Question

A 30 mL dose of NyQuil contains 650 mg of acetaminophen. How many milligrams of acetaminophen are in the entire 236 mL bottle?

Answer 1

Answer: there are 5113.33 milligrams of acetaminophen in the bottle

Explanation:

This problem uses a proportion.

650 mg / 30 mL = x mg / 236 mL

65/3 = x/236

x = 236 * 65 /3 mg

x = 15,340 /3 mg

x= 5,113.33 mg
