During surgery, a patient's circulatory system requires at least 50 milligrams of an anesthetic. The amount of anesthetic present t hours after 70 milligrams of anesthetic is administered is given by the following.
(a) How much, to the nearest milligram, of the anesthetic is present in the patient's circulatory system minutes after the anesthetic is administered_______mg
minutes is (1/3) hour, so evaluate T for t=(1/3)
to the nearest milligram:
b) How long, to the nearest minute, can the operation last if the patient does not receive additional anesthetic?_______min
hours
