Answer:
Hello!
If a nurse gives medication twice a day with the first dose being [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of an ounce and the second dose being [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] of an ounce she will have enough medication for both doses.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
Yes the nurse has enough quantity of medication to give the patient 2 dosages of medicine.
Step-by-step explanation:
The nurse gives a dosage of about 3/8 an ounce for the 1st dosage and 2/7 for the second dosage.
[tex]\frac{3}{8} + \frac{2}{7}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{21}{56} + \frac{16}{56}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{21+16}{56}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{37}{56}[/tex] of an ounce < 1 ounce
Thus the nurse will have enough dosage.
