Question

If a drug has a concentration of 275 mg per 10 mL, how many mL are needed to give 1 gram of the drug? (round tothe hundredths place)

Answer 1

It is needed 36.36 mL to give 1 gram of the drug.

Explanation:

If a drug has a concentration of 275 mg per 10 mL,

use proportional relationships to determine how many mL is needed for 1000 mg.

`(275)/(10)=(1000)/(x)`

Solve for x.

`\begin{gathered} x=(1000*10)/(275) \\ x=36.36 \end{gathered}`

It is needed 36.36 mL to give 1 gram of the drug.
