    Ma'am I wish you had been my algebra teacher... You have a voice that makes a person feel relaxed and willing to learn ,my teacher teaching this method made me feel like an idiot and moved on with the students that got it quickly...I was b-c student but math i just lagged behind...I guess some people are repetitive learner's...🙋

    Pretty much you multiply 2mg x 120ml and divide it by 5. There you have it

    I was fine with this problem ( even figured it out in my head from the start ) until I saw the "brackets" around the problem!...the symbols, brackets, slashes, etc. confuse me so much!...that is where I am having trouble solving things because I don't understand the set up, and I just start trying to pick it apart and get totally confused!...is there a formula that is easier visually for someone like me who is not good at math when faced with so many symbols??

    I truly appreciate you doing this math step by step. Im not certain of how to converse or even go back to see replies on utube so i will reach out to you through email. Im about to start a new pharmacy job soon and they're going to give me a year to get Certified. Id love to get Certified immediately so i will continue watching your videos to help me through this new experience. Im very slow with math. But i have confidence that everything will be ok if i remain calm and continue to follow your lessons. So thank you and wish me luck!😀🤔😀

    Thank you. could you please help me with this question ? How many milliliters of a 1:2000 Drug "I" solution and a 7% Drug "I" solution mixed would make 120ml of a 3.5% solution of drug "I"?
    A. 54.6mL of 7% + 65.4mL of 1:2000
    B. 59.6mL of 7% + 60.4mL of 1:2000
    C. 20.0mL of 7% + 100 mL of 1:2000
    D. 65.4mL of 7% + 54.2mL of 1:2000
    How to do this one

    Hello, what I am saying is if you choose to put mls on top, put both mls on top or vice versa.

  • @daindelucia7033
    @daindelucia7033 Před 5 lety

    Wasn't the order for a total volume of 120 mL? It occurs to me that 48 tablets might contribute quite a bit of volume, taken by themselves. I don't think you can add 120 mL of cherry syrup and end up with 120 mL as a final volume. Am I just picking nits?

  • @WutLawl
    @WutLawl Před 8 lety +3

    250mg/5ml = 50mg/1ml 50x7=350 so you need 7ml easier and faster and you can do in head
