A patient requires an IV of 0.9% saline solution, also known as normal saline solution. How much distilled water, to the nearest milliliter, must be added to 100 milliliters of a 6 % saline solution to produce normal saline?,
x is the amount of distilled water that must be added (in milliliters) 2/(100+x)=9/(1000) 2000=900+9x 1100=9x 122.22=x x= 122 The answer is 122 milliliters of distilled water must be added
