Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The cost of one dose of medication is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Conversion factor is the numerical ratio that can be used to convert one set of units into another. To convert the units from one system to another, the conversion factor ratio is written such that the unwanted units are canceled out.
(b)
Interpretation:
Cost of the one dose of medication when two tablespoons are administered in each dose is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Conversion factor is the numerical ratio that can be used to convert one set of units into another. To convert the units from one system to another, the conversion factor ratio is written such that the unwanted units are canceled out.
