Medication Dosage Problem

I'm having problems with setting this problem up, if someone could point me in the right direction with how to set this problem up I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not looking for the answer just a guide to get the problem started, thanks!

You have 160 mL of Kaletra in an oral solution. Each mL contains 80 mg of Lopinavir and 20 mg of Ritonavir. How mg of each medication is the patient getting if provider prescribes 1 tablespoon daily?

    There are 15mls in a tablespoon.80mg x 15 =1200mg.So they would be getting 1200mgs of Lopinavir. 20mg x 15=300mgs. So they would be getting 300mgs of Ritonavir.

    Oh my I'm sorry. You didn't want the answer. I was too quick to post.

    I hope this helps.

    You need to get rid of the information you don't need. Does it matter that you have 160 mL of the medication? No.

    You know the concentration in mg/mL of both components and that you will give 1 tablespoon. So all you need to know is the tbsp to mL conversion and then it's basic multiplication.
