1/3 jevity means that 66% of the solution will be water, so 0.66 x 250 ml =
165 ml
of water need to be added to the can of 250 ml.

aluminum hydroxide suspension 15ml is ordered qid. the pharmacy sends a bottle labeled 320/ mg/5ml of aluminum hydroxide. how many mg is the pt receiving per dose?

320 mg/5 ml =
x
mg/15 ml,
