Sample CCSS Assessment Question • A recommended adult dosage of the cold medication NoMoreFlu
is 16 mL. NoMoreFlu causes drowsiness when there are more than 4 mL in one’s system, in which case it is unsafe to drive, operate machinery, etc. The manufacturer wants to print a warning label telling people how long they should wait after taking NoMoreFlu for the drowsiness to pass. The typical metabolic rate is such that one quarter of the NoMoreFlu is lost every four hours.
• If a person takes the full dosage, how long should adults wait after taking NoMoreFlu to ensure that there will be
(i)Less than 4 mL of NoMoreFlu in their system?(ii)Less that 1 mL in their system?(iii)Less than 0.1 mL in their system?
• What do you think the warning label should say? Design the label and explain the thinking behind your design.
