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. Last week, your patient's doctor indicated that you should mix 100 milligrams of Medication A with 150 milligrams of Medication B. However this week, the doctor said to only use 75 milligrams of Medication B. How many milligrams of Medication A should be mixed this week?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
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.
