Answer:

It will take 3 hours 46 minutes and 8 seconds to use 375 mg of ibrufen.

Step-by-step explanation:

An adult takes 400 mg of ibuprofen. Two hours later, there is 201.6 mg of

ibuprofen left in the persons system

This means that in 2 hours time

400- 201.6= 198.4 mg was used up.

We need only 25 mg in the system

so 400- 25= 375 mg  time is needed

time          mg

2 hour      198.4

x                375

Using the cross product rule

x= 375*2/198.4

x= 3.780 hrs

Which means 3 hours and (0.78* 60)= 46.8 minutes.

It will take 3 hours 46 minutes and 8 seconds to use 375 mg of ibrufen.
