A patient's order is 20 milligrams of a drug. Available in stock is 80 milligrams in 1 milliliter of liquid How many milliliters should be administered)

We need 20 miligrams of a drug, and every milimeter we get 80 miligrams.

The amount we need is 1/4 the amount of miligrams every milimeter (20/80)

And so, we only need 1/4 of 1 milimeter, which is 0.25 milimeters

Hope this answer helps, I don't have much experience on brainly :)

Since, the liquid required to stock the drug is proportionate to the amount of drug to be stored, 0.25 ml is the required amount of liquid to stock 20 mg of drugs.

What is proportion ?

A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

Liquid required to stock 80 milligrams of drug = 1 ml

Liquid required to stock 20 milligrams of drugs = x ml

Since the liquid required to stock the drug is proportionate to the amount of drug to be stored,

[tex]\frac{80}{20} = \frac{1}{x}\\ \\ 80x = 20\\\\x = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

So, 0.25 ml is the required liquid.
