Here are the solutions to the problems:

Assignment 1.1
These are statements providing information, not questions to be solved.

  1. 10 tablets to every 300 mL.
  2. An insurer uses 80 cents out of every 1 dollar to pay its customers' medical claims.
  3. A health insurer spends 85% leaving 15% for profit and non-medical costs.

Assignment 1.2

  1. Identify the ordered dose and the available dose per tablet/capsule.

  2. Divide the ordered dose by the available dose per unit to find the number of units to administer.

    1)
    The doctor orders 160 mg160 \text{ mg} of medication.
    The medication is available in 80 mg80 \text{ mg} tablets.

    Number of tablets to be given:

    160 mg80 mg/tablet=2 tablets\frac{160 \text{ mg}}{80 \text{ mg/tablet}} = 2 \text{ tablets}

    The patient should be given 2 tablets\boxed{\text{2 tablets}}.

    2)
    The order is for a dose of 300,000 units300,000 \text{ units} of penicillin.
    The capsules are available in 100,000 units100,000 \text{ units}.

    Number of capsules to be given per dose:

    300,000 units100,000 units/capsule=3 capsules\frac{300,000 \text{ units}}{100,000 \text{ units/capsule}} = 3 \text{ capsules}

    The patient should be given 3 capsules\boxed{\text{3 capsules}}.

    3)
    The patient is to receive Drug B, 10 mg10 \text{ mg}.
    Each tablet is 2.5 mg2.5 \text{ mg}.

    Amount of Drug B to give the patient (in tablets):

    10 mg2.5 mg/tablet=4 tablets\frac{10 \text{ mg}}{2.5 \text{ mg/tablet}} = 4 \text{ tablets}

    You would give the patient 4 tablets\boxed{\text{4 tablets}} of Drug B.
