Question

choose a method of calculation dosage and complete the following dosage calculati
order: 44.0 milliliters orally after meals
have: 55 milliliters (one measure)
give:

the required dosage is measures.

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

Let \(x\) be the number of measures. We know that \(1\) measure is \(55\) milliliters. The proportion is \(\frac{1\ \text{measure}}{55\ \text{mL}}=\frac{x\ \text{measures}}{44\ \text{mL}}\).

Step2: Cross - multiply

Cross - multiplying gives us \(55x = 44\times1\).

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Divide both sides of the equation \(55x = 44\) by \(55\). So \(x=\frac{44}{55}\). Simplifying \(\frac{44}{55}\) (dividing numerator and denominator by \(11\)), we get \(x = 0.8\).

Answer:

\(0.8\)
