Answer:

The speed of wind is 75 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

speed of airplane is x miles /hour

speed of wind is y miles /hour

An airplane travels 600 miles against the wind in 4 hours

against wind means resultant speed will be less

so, speed =x-y

total distance traveled in 4 hour is

and this has to be equal to 600

Divide both sides by 4

makes the return trip with then same wind in 2 hours

with wind means resultant speed will be more

so, speed =x+y

total distance traveled in 2 hour is

and this has to be equal to 600

Divide both sides by 2

So, we get system of equations

now, we can solve it by adding both equations

now, we can solve for x

now, we can  find y by plugging x into any one equation

A child weighing 22.5 kg has an IV order for Vancomycin Calculate the q8h per dose dosage if the label states that
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

q8h dosage = 112.5mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Child Weight = 22.5 kg

Daily Intravenous Dosage = 40mg/kg

Type of Dose = q8h

Required

Calculate the q8h per dose

We start by calculating the total daily dosage in mg

This is calculated by multiplying the child weight by the intravenous dosage

Daily Dosage = 22.5kg * 40mg/kg

Daily Dosage = 900mg

This implies that the body weight requires 900 mg daily

Next is to calculate the q8h dosage

q8h means every 8 hours.

q8h dosage = 900mg/8

q8h dosage = 112.5mg
