A) Divide the liters of N₂O per minute by the total liters of flow of N₂O and O₂ per minute B) Divide the minutes of N₂O use by the total liters of N₂O delivered C) Divide the liters of oxygen flow per minute by the liters of N₂O flow per minute D) Divide the remaining liters of N₂O by the remaining liters of oxygen

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the percentage of a specific substance (in this case, N₂O) delivered per minute, you need to compare it to the total flow, which includes both the substance itself and any other substances being delivered (in this case, O₂). This gives a proportion of the specific substance in the total delivery, which is the essence of calculating a percentage.
