A licensed nurse practitioner is instructed to give a patient 1500 milligrams of an antibiotic over a period of 36 hours. If the antibiotic is to be given every 2 hours starting immediately, how much antibiotic should be given in each dose? To answer this question, solve the equation 18x=1500.

83.33 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation, represents the total dosage of antibiotics to be given to the patient in relation to the hours.

Thus, the each dosage = x.

Let's solve for x

Divide both sides by 18

(nearest hundredth)

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
