Answer:
1600 ml.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent amount of tube-feeding formula.
We have been given that a tube feeding formula contains 6 grams of protein per each 80 ml of the formula.
To solve our given problem, we will use proportions as:
[tex]\frac{x}{\text{120 gram}}=\frac{\text{80 ml}}{\text{ 6 grams}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{\text{120 gram}}*\text{120 gram}=\frac{\text{80 ml}}{\text{ 6 grams}}*\text{120 gram}[/tex]
[tex]x=\text{80 ml}*20[/tex]
[tex]x=\text{1600 ml}[/tex]
Therefore, the patient should get 1600 ml of tube feeding formula every day.
