A patient receives all her nutrition from fluids given through the vena cava. Every 12hrs, 750mL of a solution that is 4% (m/v) amino acids, and 25% (m/v) glucose is given along with 500mL of a 10% (m/v) lipid.
1. In ten days , how many grams of amino acids are given to the patient?
2.In ten days, how many grams of glucose is given to the patient?
3. In ten days, how many grams of lipid are given to the patient?
Can anyone help me with this please?

In one 12-hour period, the patient receives
0.04 x 750 = 30 g amino acids
0.25 x 750 = 187.5 g glucose
0.10 x 500 = 50 g lipid
--------------------------------------…
In 10 days, there are 20 12-hour periods, so multiply each mass by 20
20 x 30 g = 600 g amino acids
20 x 187.5 = 3750 g glucose
20 x 50 g = 1000 g lipids
0.04 x 750 = 30 g amino acids
0.25 x 750 = 187.5 g glucose
0.10 x 500 = 50 g lipid
