If a physician order is 25% dextrose 1000 mL and all you have is 70% dextrose 1000 mL and 5% dextrose how much 70% dextrose will be used

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1000ml Of Dextrose 25% is needed to be produced from Dextrose 70%. Let us assume that x ml of Dextrose 70% is mixed with a Dextrose 5% to get 1000 ml of Dextrose 25%. Hence:

The amount of Dextrose 5% = 1000 ml - x ml = 1000 - x

25% of 1000 ml = 70% of x + 5% of (1000 - x)

25000 = 70x + 5000 - 5x

Simplifying gives:

65x = 25000 - 5000

65x = 20000

x = 308 ml

Therefore 308 ml of Dextrose 70% was mixed with 692 ml of Dextrose 5% to produce 1000 ml of Dextrose 25%.

answer: check all that apply, where the options?

step-by-step explanation:

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
