Question 42300: Suppose that the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of a person who has been drinking is given by the following:
ounces consumed times % alcohol times 0.075 divided by body weight in pounds minus hours of drinking times 0.015
Find the BAC for a 255-lb man who, in 2 hours, has drunk 13 beers. (Assume that each beer is 12 oz with a 4.5% alcohol content.) Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
just plug everything into the cookbook formula and get
BAC = {[(156 oz)(4.5 %)(.075)] / 255} - 2(.015) =
BAC = .176
He is drunk!
13 beers in two hours would take me out too!
