    hahaha. I hope you don’t teach your students this way! 400/125 x 5. Bam. There you go. That took 2 seconds.

    I think you missed the point. My aim with this set of videos is to help those that have a problem with arithmetic…. their talents lie in other areas. It is not a refection on intelligence if arithmetic is a problem. Or to put it another way….. nobody likes a smart arse. I teach my students using any methods that will help them achieve their personal targets, and I’m pleased to say I have had a great deal of success, at all levels of mathematics. mathstutor

    I hope you aren’t in the medical field with an attitude like that. Very rude.

    THanks, …
    THanks, mathtutorbiz. I’m in Nursing school and i wonder what the critics were talking about. There are Million ways to kill a cat ( a proverb in my native Ghanaian language), it is the IQ level of the class that determines what method you use.
    For, me, the 125mg in 5ml represents the supply dose, which is also refer to as the strengh in a given volume, hence DO/OH x 5ml i.e 400/125 X 5ml= Answer in Ml.

    Thank you lipeme. I’m pleased that the majority think as we do rather than the small minded minority….. by the way,the Engish saying is… “to skin a cat.” Not sure if either paints a pleasant picture?!? mathstutor

    There is a much simpler way or working this out – What you want divided by what youve got times by the volume its in so it would be 400/12 x 5 = 16.

    There is always …
    There is always more than one way to solve any problem. The idea of the set of nursing arithmetic DVD’s (full set available on mathstutorDOTcom) was give as few methods as possible, to suit as many problems as possible, for those not so hot at arithmetic. So, not necessarily the quickest way. mathstutor

    Sure it would be beeter to give 1 simple method then 1 very complicated method. We need to be thinking about when nurses will be doing these calculations and time restraints nurses face.

    I appreciate your …
    I appreciate your point, re: the time restraints, not that my method is complicated!! I would say that, in my method the mechanics of the problem is easily understood, especially if the student has a poor general mathematical understanding, and this is therefore more likely to result in a correct answer under pressure. I would think that a correct answer is the prime consideration, not speed!!! (not that your method would save THAT much time!) mathstutor

    400/125 cause you want to find out how many 125 are in 400 which is 3.5. so multiple 3.5 by 5 to find out how many in ml
