Problem Situation: Calculating Blood Alcohol Content

Blood alcohol content (BAC) is a measurement of how much alcohol is in someone’s blood. It is usually measured as a percentage. So, a BAC of 0.3% is three-tenths of 1%. That is, there are 3 grams of alcohol for every 1,000 grams of blood. A BAC of 0.05% impairs reasoning and the ability to concentrate. A BAC of 0.30% can lead to a blackout, shortness of breath, and loss of bladder control. In most states, the legal limit for driving is a BAC of 0.08%.

#1 Points possible: 12. Total attempts: 5

Think about the variables that might influence BAC, and how they would influence it.  Use your intuition to answer these questions:

If you drink more drinks, your BAC would     

If the time since your first drink was longer, your BAC would     

If you weighed more, your BAC would     

Estimating BAC

BAC is usually determined by a breathalyzer, urinalysis, or blood test. However, Swedish physician, E.M.P. Widmark developed the following equation for estimating an individual’s BAC. This formula is widely used by forensic scientists:

B=−0.015t+2.84NW⋅gB=-0.015t+2.84NW⋅g 

Where

B = percentage of BAC

N = number of “standard drinks” (A standard drink is one 12-ounce beer, one 5-ounce glass of wine, or one 1.5-ounce shot of liquor.) N should be at least 1.

W = weight in pounds

= gender constant, 0.68 for men and 0.55 for women

t = number of hours since the first drink

The variables BNWg, and t change depending on the person and situation. The units of B are a percentage. So, 0.08 is not 8%, but eight-hundredths of a percent. 

This equation has been simplified from the one found in the reference.  The numbers 0.015 and 2.84 are constants based on the average person.  It's also worth noting many high-end beers have twice as much alcohol as the “standard beer,” which assumes 4% alcohol.

Which of the following was one of the main mathematical ideas of the lesson?

· Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is affected by many different variables.

· A formula can be explored by evaluating it and solving for specific values.

· When solving an equation, an operation that changes the value of one side must also be done to the other side of the equation.

· Sometimes letters can represent a constant.

Recall that Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is a measurement of how much alcohol is in someone’s blood as a percentage. However, police and the public typically omit the language for % when quoting the BAC and simply say, "BAC is 0.04."

Write an interpretation of what each of the following BAC values means in terms of how much alcohol is in the bloodstream in the form of the amount of alcohol per 1,000 grams of blood. You may want to refer back to the example in the lesson.

a. BAC = 0.1  gram of alcohol for every 1,000 grams of blood.

b. BAC = 0.02  gram of alcohol for every 1,000 grams of blood.

#6 Points possible: 1. Total attempts: 5

The percentage of Americans who are retired has been increasing over the last decade. This is causing some concern because health care, social security, and other costs will be the responsibility of a smaller group of people. That is, as the percentage of retired people increases, the percentage of working age people decreases. The following model predicts the percentage of retired people based on demographic data 1 :

 R=t873.36−2.15R=t873.36-2.15 

where R is the percentage (as a decimal) of Americans who are retired in the year (for example, the year 1995 would be t = 1995). Use this model to complete the table below by solving for the year.
