Question

Write an equality and two conversion factors for each of the following medications:

(a) $2.5$mg of Coumadin per $1$tablet of Coumadin

(b) $100$mg of Clozapine per $1$tablet of Clozapine

(c) $1.5$g of Cefuroxime per $1$mL of Cefuroxime

Short answer

(a) Equality is $1$tablet $=2.5mg$of Coumadin and conversion factors are the division of LHS and RHS.

(b) Equality is $1$tablet$=100mg$of Clozapine and conversion factors are the division of LHS and RHS.

(c) Equality is $1$mL$=1.5g$of Cefuroximeand conversion factors are the division of LHS and RHS.

Step-by-step solution

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

We are given that $2.5$mg of Coumadin per $1$tablet of Coumadin

and we have to find out equality and two conversion factors

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

According to given information $2.5mg$of Coumadin per 1 tablet of Coumadin.

which states that Equality is,

$1$tablet role="math" localid="1651726697996" $=2.5mg$of Coumadin.

and now two conversion factors are,

$\frac{2.5mgofCoumadin}{1tablet}$and $\frac{1tablet}{2.5mgofCoumadin}$.

Hence this is the required answer.

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

We are given that $100mg$of Clozapine per$1$tablet of Clozapine and we have to find out equality and two conversion factors.

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

According to given information $100mg$of Clozapine per 1 tablet of Clozapine.

which states that Equality is,

$1$tablet $=100mg$of Clozapine.

and now two conversion factors are,

$\frac{100mgofClozapine}{1tablet}$and $\frac{1tablet}{100mgofClozapine}$.

Hence this is the required answer.

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

We are given that $1.5g$of Cefuroxime per $1$mL of Cefuroxime and we have to find out equality and two conversion factors.

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

According to given information $1.5g$of Cefuroxime per $1$mL of Cefuroxime .

which states that Equality is,

$1$mL $=1.5g$of Cefuroxime.

and now two conversion factors are,

$\frac{1.5gofCefuroxime}{1mL}$and $\frac{1mL}{1.5gofCefuroxime}$.

Hence this is the required answer.
