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.

The length of a rectangular floor is two ft more than its width. If the area of the floor is 63 ft, find the length and the widt
NemiM [27]

Answer:

width = 7 and length = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume width = w, and length = 2 + w

So area of a rectangle = width * length

63 ft² = w (2 + w)

63 = 2w + w²

w² + 2w - 63 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve this

here, a = 1, b = 2 and c = -63

w = 7 or -9

The dimensions of a rectangle cannot be negative. So we take the dimension, w = 7.

Width = 7 and Length = 7+2 = 9

I need help if you can pls add a piece of work thank you in advance

The expected value is the summary of the product between each element and its probability.

In this case, we have to multiply the number of dollars in each area with the probability of happening. It's important to note that there are 8 portions inside the circle because each of them has 45°.

According to the given diagram $160 represents one slice, $80 represents one slice, and -$40 represents 6 slices.

Having said that, we can express the expected value as follows.

\begin{gathered} E=160\cdot(\frac{1}{8})+80\cdot(\frac{1}{8})-40\cdot(\frac{6}{8}) \\ E=\frac{160}{8}+\frac{80}{8}-\frac{240}{8}=20+10-60=-30 \end{gathered}<h2>Therefore, the expected value is -30 which means you most likely will lose $30 if you play.</h2>
