Answer:

83.33 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation, [tex] 18x = 1500 [/tex] represents the total dosage of antibiotics to be given to the patient in relation to the hours.

Thus, the each dosage = x.

Let's solve for x

[tex] 18x = 1500 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 18

[tex] \frac{18x}{18} = \frac{1500}{18} [/tex]

[tex] x = 83.33 milligrams [/tex] (nearest hundredth)
