You’re working in a pharmacy, and are making a table to help with dosage amounts for a certain drug. The recommended dosage is 4

0 milligrams per 2.2 pounds of body weight, divided into three daily doses and taken every 8 hours. You want entries for children weighing 10 pounds, 15 pounds and 30 pounds. The drug comes in a 200 mg5 ml formula. If 1 teaspoon = 5 ml, how many teaspoons are required for each entry? Round your answer to the nearest 14 teaspoon.

Answer: Children who weigh 10 pounds require 12 teaspoons, those at 15 pounds need 18 teaspoons, and for 30 pounds, it is necessary to have 36 teaspoons.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a recommended dose of 40 mg per 2.2 pounds of weight, given in three doses throughout the day every 8 hours.

Thus, for a single pound, the daily required dosage is calculated as \dfrac{40}{2.2}=18.18\ ml.

Each individual dose corresponds to \dfrac{18.18}{3}=6.06\ ml of the drug.

This means for one pound, the dosage needed per dose is 6.06 ml.

Thus, for 10 pounds, the calculation is 10 x 6.06 ml = 60.6 ml

To convert ml to teaspoons, knowing that 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml, we find: (60.6 ml ÷ 5) = 12.12 ≈ 12 teaspoons.

For a weight of 15 pounds, the drug requirement is 15 x 6.06 ml = 90.9 ml.

This translates to (90.9 ml ÷ 5) = 18.18 ≈ 18 teaspoons.

For the weight of 30 pounds, it is calculated as 30 x 6.06 ml = 181.8 ml.

Converting this gives us (181.8 ml ÷ 5) = 36.36 ≈ 36 teaspoons.

Therefore, children weighing 10 pounds need 12 teaspoons, those at 15 pounds require 18 teaspoons, and those at 30 pounds need 36 teaspoons.

PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer: The correct choice is (C) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}.

Step-by-step explanation: We have eight identical slips of paper, each numbered from one to eight, which have been mixed inside a bag.

The sample space, S is as follows:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.

Subset A consists of the complement of the event where the number 6 is drawn.

Let 'B' denote the event of drawing the number 6.

Thus, B = {6}.

Since 'A' represents the complement of 'B', it will include all elements in the sample space 'S' that are not part of set 'B'.

Therefore,

A = B' = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}

So, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}.

Consequently, (C) is the correct choice.

Line RS intersects triangle BCD at two points and is parallel to segment DC. Triangle B C D is cut by line R S. Line R S goes th
Zina [12379]

Answer:

The correct statements are;

1) ΔBCD is similar to ΔBSR

2) BR/RD = BS/SC

3) (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since RS is parallel to DC, we conclude that;

∠BDC = ∠BRS (Angles formed on the same side of the transversal)

Furthermore;

∠BCD = ∠BSR (Angles formed on the same side of the transversal)

∠CBD = ∠CBD (Reflexive property)

Thus;

ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR by the Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) similarity criterion.

2) Given that  ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR, we obtain;

BC/BS = BD/BR → (BS + SC)/BS = (BR + RD)/BR = 1 + SC/BS = RD/BR + 1

1 + SC/BS = 1 + RD/BR thus, SC/BS = 1 + BR/RD - 1

SC/BS = RD/BR

By inverting both sides we find;

BR/RD = BS/SC

3) From BR/RD = BS/SC, we apply cross multiplication;

BR/RD = BS/SC leads to;

BR × SC = RD × BS → (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS).

Will works 7 hours a day, 6 days a week.
PIT_PIT [12445]

For one day:
= £9.20 × 7
= £64.40

For six days:
£64.40 × 6 = £386.40

After sharing with his mom:
£386.40/7 × 5
= £55.20 × 5
= £276

To purchase a car worth £1932:
£1932/£276 = 7

Thus, he needs 7 weeks to save enough for the car priced at £1932.

A frame around a rectangular family portrait has a perimeter of 60 inches. The length is 15 inches less than 2 times the width.
zzz [12365]
2(2w-5) + 2w = 50

4w - 10 + 2w = 50

6w - 10 = 50

6w = 60

w = 10

The length is calculated as 2(10) - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15

I hope this is useful!!
