a patient has a urinary tract infection so dr. padron prescribes ancef. a 1200 ml bag contains 400 mg of ancef. if the patient receives 600 ml of fluid, how many mg of ancef did the patient receive?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the ratio of fluid received

The total fluid in the bag is 1200 mL, and the patient receives 600 mL. The ratio of fluid received to total fluid is $\frac{600}{1200}$.

Step2: Calculate the amount of Ancef

Multiply this ratio by the total amount of Ancef in the bag (400 mg). So, the amount of Ancef received is $\frac{600}{1200} \times 400$. Simplifying $\frac{600}{1200}$ gives $\frac{1}{2}$, and $\frac{1}{2} \times 400 = 200$.

Answer:

200 mg
