Question

chapter 1 quiz

1. a veterinarian has two full bottles of amoxicillin with 100 tablets each and a third bottle where 35 tablets have already been used. each tablet is 100 milligrams and can be split into quarters. if the initial dosage recommendation for cats and dogs is 50 milligrams and they expect to administer an initial dose to 10 cats and dogs today, how many tablets of amoxicillin will the veterinarian have leftover?

1. convert these standard times to military time:

a. 8:52 am
b. 11:24 pm
c. 12:00 am

Explanation:

Question 1

Step 1: Calculate total tablets initially

Two full bottles: \(2 \times 100 = 200\) tablets. Third bottle initially has 100 tablets, 35 used, so \(100 - 35 = 65\) tablets. Total initial tablets: \(200 + 65 = 265\) tablets.

Step 2: Calculate tablets needed for 10 animals

Each dose is 50 mg, each tablet is 100 mg (can be split into quarters, so each tablet provides 4×50 mg = 200 mg, but we need per dose: 50 mg is \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a tablet (since 100 mg tablet, 50 mg is half). For 10 animals: \(10 \times \frac{1}{2} = 5\) tablets.

Step 3: Calculate leftover tablets

Leftover = initial total - tablets used = \(265 - 5 = 260\) tablets.

Standard time 8:52 AM in military time is represented as 0852 (since AM times before 10 AM have a leading zero for hours, followed by minutes).

For 11:24 PM, add 12 hours to the PM time. 11 + 12 = 23, so military time is 2324.

Answer:

260
