To determine the number of milliliters of a 50% dextrose solution needed for a 10g dextrose dose, we need to find the concentration of dextrose in the solution.
A 50% dextrose solution means that it contains 50g of dextrose per 100ml of solution.
To find the amount of dextrose in the 10g dose, we can set up a proportion:
50g/100ml = 10g/x ml
Cross-multiplying, we get:
50g * x ml = 100ml * 10g
50x = 1000
Dividing by 50, we find:
x = 1000/50
x = 20 ml
Therefore, 20 milliliters of a 50 percent dextrose solution are needed for a 10g dextrose dose.
How many milliliters of a 50 percent dextrose solution are needed for a 10g dextrose dose?
