M = 0.01w
So for a 10 pound dog, m = 0.01(10) = 0.1 mg
Also, since 10 pounds is 1/5 of 50 pounds, then 1/5 of 0.5 mg is 0.1 mg.
With either calculation, the dose is 0.1 mg

Answer:

0.1 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the number of milligrams, m, varies directly with the weight of the dog, w.      

We know that two directly proportional quantities are in form y=kx, where y is directly proportional with x and k is constant of proportionality.

Upon substituting our given variables in inversely proportion, we will get:

m=kw

We have been given that veterinarian knows that a 50-pound dog gets 0.5 milligram of a certain medicine.

Let us find constant of proportionality using our given information.

0.5=k(50)

\frac{0.5}{50}=\frac{50k}{50}

k=0.01

So our required equation would be m=0.01w.

Now, we will substitute w=10 in our equation to solve for medicine needed for a 10-pound dog.

m=0.01(10)

m=0.1

Therefore, the vet will give 0.1 milligrams of medicine to give a 10-pound dog.

A car used 1/ 64 of a gallon of gas to drive 1 4of a mile. At this rate, how many miles can the car travel using 1 gallon of gas
Dovator [93]

Answer: 16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The car used 1/64 gallons to travel 1/4 miles. To find out how many miles the car can travel using 1 gallon, use direct proportion:

1/64 gallons            :              1/4 miles

1 gallon                   :                  x miles

Cross multiply:

1/64x = 1/4

x = 1/4 ÷ 1/64

= 1/4 * 64/1

= 16 miles

On one gallon of gas, the car can travel 16 miles.
