The patient needs 1600 ml of tube feeding formula.
We are aware that each 80ml of formula contains 6 grams of protein.
Now that we are aware that the patient requires 120 grams of protein, let's use the quotient to first determine how many times there are 6 grams in 120 grams. Every 80 ml of a formula for tube feeding has 6 grams of protein.
For 1 gram of protein patient need 80/6 ml of tube feeding formula.
For 120 gram of protein patient need (120×80)/6 ml of tube feeding formula.
(120×80)/6 ml = 1600ml
Thus the patient need 1600 ml of tube feeding formula.
