Answer:

19.2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming it is a straight proportion, then the givens are

w1 = 150 pounds

m1 = 24 grams

w2 = 120 pounds

m2 = x

m = medication amount.

w = weight

Equation

m1/w1 = m2/w2

Solution

24/150 = x / 120                  Multiply both sides by 120

24 * 120/150 = x 120 /120  

2880/150 = x                       Do the division

19.2 grams = x                      The amount the 120 pound woman should receive.

andriy [413]

Answer:

<u>Geometric Progression</u> is the explicit rule for the given sequence: 11, 22, 44, 88...

First term (a) = <u>11</u>

Common ratio (r) = 22/11 = 44/22 = 88/44 = <u>2</u>

Formula used in Geometric Progression is :---

\boxed{a_n = a {r}^{(n - 1)}}✓\\

where, 'n' is the required term

Ishaan is 3 times as old as Christopher and is also 14 years older than Christopher.how old is christopher?
Sedbober [7]

i = 3c

i = c + 14

set both equations equal to each-other, we can

solve for c, we must.

3c = c + 14

subtract c from both sides, we must.

2c = 14

divide both sides by 2, we must.

c = 7

7 years old, Christopher is.

Answer:

SA = 1099 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just plug into the formula

SA = 2pir^2 + 2pi r h where pi = 3.14, r = 5 and h = 30

SA = 2 (3.14) (5^2) + 2 (3.14)(5)(30)

SA = 157 + 942

SA = 1099 square inches.

The sum of 139 and the product of a number raised to the third power and 17. In symbols, the phrase is written as.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

<u>y = 139 + x³ + 17 </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "sum" means the amount resulting from addition in an equation. This means that we are adding all of these numbers together.

The word "product" means the amount resulting from multiplication in an equation, this means we need to find the product of a number multiplied by itself three times. Since we don't know what number it is, we can use the variable 'x'.

So, you would be adding 139, the product of x³, and 17, which would be written as y = 139 + x³ + 17.
