Question

16. A patient takes 5 mL of medication three times a day. The bottle contains 150 mL of
medication. For many days will the medication last?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient takes 5mL three times (x3) a day.

5mL x 3 = 15 mL

To find how many days worth of medication the patient has, take the total amount she has (150 mL) and divide it by how much she takes a day.

150mL / 15 mL per day = 10 days.
