Using the Widmark equation,
Write the equation you would solve to figure out how long it will take before his BAC is 0.08. Is it okay to round any constants to 3 decimal places.
Need more data. What is BAC?
BAC stands for blood alcohol concentration.
I am also struggling on this question also.
To determine how long it will take for an individual's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to reach 0.08 using the Widmark equation, we need to solve for time (t) in the equation.
The Widmark equation is given by:
BAC = (Alcohol Consumed / (Weight of the individual * Widmark factor * Time))
Where:
BAC is the blood alcohol concentration,
Alcohol Consumed is the amount of alcohol consumed in grams,
Weight of the individual is the weight of the person in kilograms,
Widmark factor is a constant that depends on gender (0.68 for males and 0.55 for females), and
Time (t) is the time duration in hours.
To find how long it will take for the BAC to be 0.08, we can rearrange the equation:
t = Alcohol Consumed / (Weight of the individual * Widmark factor * BAC)
Now, plug in the appropriate values and solve the equation. Be sure to use the correct units (grams and kilograms) and round any constants to 3 decimal places, as asked:
t = Alcohol Consumed / (Weight of the individual * Widmark factor * BAC)
Note: Ensure that all units are consistent throughout the formula.
