Question

question 2
name: mr. satterfield
weight: 88.8 kg
medicine: heparin
dosage prescribed: 215 units/kg per 12 hours
concentration of medicine on hand: 10 units/ml
round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a liter (two decimal places).

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total units per 12 - hours

Multiply weight by dosage per kg.
$88.8\times215 = 19092$ units

Step2: Calculate volume in mL

Divide total units by concentration.
$\frac{19092}{10}=1909.2$ mL

Step3: Convert mL to L

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, divide volume in mL by 1000.
$1909.2\div1000 = 1.9092$ L

Step4: Round to two decimal places

Round 1.9092 to two decimal places.
$1.91$ L

Answer:

$1.91$ L
