![The amount of alcohol in a person's blood is known as blood alcohol concentration (BAC),
measured in grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood. A BAC of 0.08, meaning 0.08%, indicates
that a person has 8 parts alcohol per 10,000 parts blood. It is illegal to drive with a BAC of 0.08
or higher. Use the formula
600n
w (0.6n +169)
where w is the weight of a 110-pound person and n is the number of drinks per hour, and use a
scientific calculator to compute the BAC for integers from n=1 to n-10.
How many drinks can the 110-pound person consume in an hour without exceeding the legal
measure of drunk driving?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F256ac14c-ddf2-41f3-9d75-75d84278a14a%2Fe9e102a0-455a-4b70-925b-e944359e959b%2Fy4cz27_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
