Apatient is to be given 35 milligrams of demerol every 4 hours. you have demerol 50 milligrams/milliliter in stock. how many milliliters should be given per dose?

0.7 milliliters should be given per dose.

Step-by-step explanation:

50 milligrams = 1 milliliter

Per dose, you need to give 35 milligrams. So, to know the amount of milliliters, we need to figure out what fraction is 35 out of 50?

35 divided by 50 is  

Hence, 0.7 milliliters should be given per dose.

0.7 milliliter

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 35 milligrams of Demerol is to be given to a patient every 4 hours and we have Demerol 50 milligrams/milliliter in stock.

To find out the number of milliliters that should be given per dose, we use the simple ratio method.

Therefore, 0.7 milliliter of Demerol should be given per dose.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
