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.
