Given that a chain weighs 8 pounds per foot.

We to find the weight in ounces per 5 inches.

It is known that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches and 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

Given that the weight is 8 pounds per foot.

\begin{gathered} 8\text{pounds per foot}=8\text{ pounds per 12 inches} \\ =16\times8\text{ ounces per 12 inches} \\ =128\text{ ounces per 12 inches} \\ =10.6\text{ ounces per inch} \\ =10.6\times5\text{ ounces per 5 inches} \\ =53\text{ ounces per 5 inches} \end{gathered}

Thus, the answer is 53 ounces in 5 inches.

When the exponent is negative, the inversion is made, the numerator becomes the denominator, and the denominator becomes the numerator, and the change of signal from the exponent, which was negative, becomes positive.

a medication prescription states 1/4 tablet twice a day per 20kg the peson weight is 211 pounds. how many tablets should be take
Black_prince [1.1K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 1.187 tablets each time (twice a day)

<h2>Why?</h2>

From the statement we know that 0.25 tablet (1/4) should be taken twice a day per 20 kg, it makes 0.5 table a day, per 20 kg.

First, we need to convert the given weight unit (pounds) to kg:

1 Pound=0.45Kg

So,

211Pounds*\frac{0.45Kg}{1Pound}= 94.95Kg=95Kg

A weight of 95 Kg, means 4.75 times more than the given information of 0.5 table a day, per 20 Kg

\frac{95Kg}{20Kg}=4.75

Then,

4.75*(0.5)=2.375

So,

For a weight of 95 Kg,  2.375  tablets should be taken a day, or 1.187  tablets each time.

Have a nice day!

What is the midpoint of (2, -3) and (4, 1)
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>( 3 , - 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

M = (  \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )\\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(2, -3) and (4, 1)

The midpoint is

M = ( \frac{2 + 4}{2}   \: , \:  \frac{ - 3 + 1}{2} ) \\  = ( \frac{6}{2}  \: , \:  -  \frac{2}{2} )

We have the final answer as

<h3>( 3 , - 1)</h3>

Hope this helps you
