A 7(1/2)% strength solution has been prepared.
a) How many grams of medication are in the 7(1/2)% strength solution
how do I setup this question? Is this correct?
7(1/2)/100 = x/100mL
To set up this question, you need to use the concept of percentages.
To find the number of grams of medication in the 7(1/2)% strength solution, you can use the equation:
(Percent strength / 100) * Total solution volume = Amount of medication
Here's how you can set it up:
Let's assume the total solution volume is 100 mL (as indicated by your equation).
First, convert 7(1/2)% to decimal form. 7(1/2)% can be written as 7.5% or 0.075 in decimal form.
Next, substitute the values into the equation:
(0.075) * 100 mL = Amount of medication
Calculating the equation will give you the number of grams of medication in the 7(1/2)% strength solution.
