Proportionately, the amount of the drug that the patient should be given is <u>2,993.71 mg</u>.

<h3>What is the proportion?</h3>

The proportion is the ratio of a variable to another.

Proportion defines the numerical relationships among variables.

Proportion shows how much a value is contained in the whole.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

2.20462 lb = 1 kg

165 lb = 74.8428 kg (165/2.20462)

1 kg = 40 mg of the drug

74.8428 kg = 2,993.71 mg (74.8428 kg x 40 mg)

Thus, the amount of the drug that the patient should be given is <u>2,993.71 mg</u>.

Consider the arithmetic sequence:
prisoha [69]

Answer:

<em>Answer: D</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Arithmetic Sequences </u>

The arithmetic sequences are those where any term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.

The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)r

Where

an = nth term

a1 = first term

r   = common difference

n  = number of the term

We are given the arithmetic sequence:

10, 12, 14, 16, ...

Where a1=10 and

r = 12 - 10 = 2

Thus the general term is:

a_n=10+(n-1)2

Operating:

a_n=10+2n-2

a_n=8+2n

Answer: D
