Q: A patient is prescribed 250 mg of ampicillin every 6 hours. If the available suspension is 250 mg/5.0 mL, how many milliliters should be administered per dose?

$ \frac{250\ \text{mg}}{250\ \text{mg}/5.0\ \text{mL}} = 5.0\ \text{mL} $

Q: What is the density of an object with a mass of 200.0 g and a volume of 10.0 mL?

$ \frac{200.0\ \text{g}}{10.0\ \text{mL}} = 20.0\ \text{g/mL} $

Q: Convert 44 inches to centimeters. (1 inch = 2.54 cm)

$ 44 \times 2.54 = 111.76\ \text{cm} $

Q: A car travels 120 miles in 2.0 hours. What is its speed in miles per hour?

$ \frac{120\ \text{miles}}{2.0\ \text{hours}} = 60\ \text{miles/hour} $

Q: A beaker contains 50.0 mL of water at 25°C. If 4.18 J of heat is added, what is the temperature change? (Specific heat of water = $4.18\ \text{J/g}^\circ\text{C}$, density of water = $1.00\ \text{g/mL}$)

$ \Delta T = \frac{4.18\ \text{J}}{50.0\ \text{g} \times 4.18\ \text{J/g}^\circ\text{C}} = 0.02^\circ\text{C} $
