A pharmacist suspends a mixture of cefaclor using 50 milliliters of fluid. Each dose of cefaclor is 160 milligrams per 2 milliliters. If the patient is told to take all of the medication in the bottle during the next week, find the total number of milligrams of cefaclor the patient will consume.

Question

The total milligrams of cefaclor can be calculated by first determining the milligrams per milliliter, which is 160 mg / 2 mL = 80 mg/mL. Since there are 50 mL of fluid, the total milligrams of cefaclor is 50 mL * 80 mg/mL = 4000 milligrams.
