Read the following instructions in order to complete this discussion, and review the example of how to complete the math required for this assignment:

• Read about Cowling’s Rule for child sized doses of medication (number 92 on page 119 ofElementary and Intermediate Algebra).
   

• Solve parts (a) and (b) of the problem using the following details indicated for your assigned number: 31 is my assigned number

1. Cowling's rule. Cowling's rule is another function for determining the child's dosage of a drug. For this rule, the formula

d= D(a+1)

24

expresses the child's dosage d as a function of the adult dosage D and the child's age a.

1. Administering vancomycin. A patient is to receive 750 milligrams (desired dose) of the antibiotic vancomycin. However, vancomycin comes in a solution containing 1000 milligrams (available dose) of vancomycin per 5 milliliters (quantity) of solution. The amount of solution to be given to the patient is a function of the desired dose, the available dose, and the quantity, given by the formula

Find the amount of the solution that should be administered to the patient.
