Question 1206066: As a nurse, part of your daily duties is to mix medications in the proper proportions for your patients. For one of your regular patients, you always mix Medication A with Medication B in the same proportion.

This week, you are instructed to use only 75 mg of medication B, 
which is half of the previous dosage of 150 mg of medication B.


So, to keep the same proportion, you should use one half 
of the previous dosage medication A, which half is 50 mg of A.    ANSWER

Hope it is clear.
