Acold tablet contains the following amounts of active ingredients: acetaminophen 325 mg, chlorpheniramine maleate 2 mg, and dextromethorphan hydrobromide 15 mg. how many tablets may be prepared if a manufacturing pharmacist has 1 kg of acetaminophen, 125 g of chlorpheniramine maleate, and unlimited quantities of dextromethorphan hydrobromide?

The number of tablets that can be prepared is 3076.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of active ingredients in the tablet is the sum of the amounts provided in the formula:

The percentages of each component in the formula are:

Acetaminophen:%

Chlorpheniramine maleate:%

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide:%

If 1 Kg= mg of acetaminophen is used, the needed amount of chlorpheniramine maleate would be:

Since there are 125 g = 125000 mg of chlorpheniramine maleate, there is enough of these ingredient to run the available acetaminophen out. Thus, the total amount of active ingredients that can be prepared with 1 kg of acetaminophen is:

Since each tablet weighs 342 mg, the number of tablets that can be prepared is:

Which means that 3076 tablets can be prepared and a there will be a remanent of 0.923*342 mg = 315.69 mg of active ingredients.

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
