Mg required per pound = 249/153 = 1.63mg

Therefore medicine required=  102 *1.63= 166.26g

Answer: 166 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A certain medicine is given in an amount proportional to a patient's body weight.

A patient weighing 153 pounds requires 249 milligrams of medicine.

Let x be the amount of medicine required by a patient weighing 102 pounds, then we have the following equation:-

\dfrac{x}{102}=\dfrac{249}{153}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{249\times102}{153}=166

Hence, the amount of medicine required by a patient weighing 102 pounds = 166 milligrams.

If sammmy has 5 alligators biting and each have 100 hunred teeth how many bite marks would he have?
posledela
Hello!

We are given that each of the 5 alligators has 100 teeth. We can use the following equation to find the total number of teeth and, by extension, the total number of bite marks:

(100 teeth) × (5 alligators) = 500 teeth

We have now proven that the 5 alligators have a combined total of 500 teeth. Consequently, Sammy will have 500 bite marks.

I hope this helps!

(Apex 2.2.4 math 8)
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: slope = "rise over run" = 1.5/18 = 3/36 = 1/12 for the 1st section to the landing

slope is the change in height, the vertical change, divided by the change in horizontal distance

2nd section has slope 1/18 and covers 9 feet. That means it rises 1/2 foot

slope = 1/18 = (1/2)/9  

the door is 2 feet higher than the ground level,  1.5 + .5 = 2 feet change vertically

Melinda and Marcus each have a job. Melinda earns $12 an hour. She also receives a $75 weekly bonus.
Olenka [21]
According to given information,
Equation of Melinda Earning = 75 + 12x
Equation of Marcus Earning = 15x
Where, x = Number of hours they worked.

Now, we need to calculate when they will have same amount of money, so for that instance they shall equal to each other.
75 + 12x = 15x
15x - 12x = 75
3x = 75
x = 75/3
x = 25

After 25 hours, they will have the money = 15(25) = $375

So, your final answer is $375

Hope this helps!
