Question

complete parts (a) and (b).
a. a 5% dextrose solution (d5w) contains 5 mg of dextrose per 100 ml of solution. how many milligrams of dextrose is in 2500 ml of a 5% solution?
□ mg (round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Set up proportion

Let $x$ be the amount of dextrose in 2500 mL. The proportion is $\frac{5}{100}=\frac{x}{2500}$.

Step2: Cross - multiply

$100x = 5\times2500$.

Step3: Solve for $x$

$x=\frac{5\times2500}{100}$.
$x = 125.0$.

Answer:

125.0
