Hi There!

Steps

1.To solve this problem, set the numbers up \frac{1}{2} /  \frac{5}{8}

2. Remember, when dividing fractions the second number should be reciprocal, this means the numerator will be the denominator and the denominator will be the numerator.

3. So now you are dividing \frac{1}{2} /  \frac{8}{5}

4. To make this easier to divide you must cross divide, so find the lcm of 8 and 2, the lcm is 2. Remember the lcm is the least common multiple, so the lowest factor of 8 and 2.

5. Now you have to multiply \frac{1}{2} *  \frac{8}{5}

6. First multiply the numerator 1 * 8 = 8

7. Now, multiply the denominator 2 * 5 = 10

8. You're final fraction should be \frac{8}{10}

9. Now you have to simplify so find the lcm of 8,10 the lcm is 2, so when you divide the numerator and denominator then you're answer should be 4/5.

Final Answer is \frac{4}{5}

Hope This Helps :)

To solve this let our write this fraction in terms.
\frac{1}{2} 
 / \frac{5}{8}

So now let change this problem as a multiplication problem. To change this to multiplication problem we have to flip our second term 

\frac{1}{2} *  \frac{8}{5}

So, now let's simplify the terms. So we get
\frac{4}{5}

Thus this is our final answer.

Help please with this math ;-; I beg of you
RSB [31]

Answer:

49 - 9π

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of white portion = area of triangle - area of circle

To find the area of the triangle:

The area of a triangle can be calculated using this formula

A=\frac{bh}{2} where b = base length and h = height

The height given is 7m and the base length given is 14m

That being said we plug in the given values into the formula

\frac{14*7}{2} \\14*7=98\\\frac{98}{2} =49

Hence, the area of the triangle is 49 sq meters.

To find the area of circle

( note that the area is in terms of pi; shown by the answer choices. )

Formula for area of a circle = A=\pi r^2

We are given the diameter  ( 6m )

However, we need the radius

To convert diameter to radius we divide by 2

6/2 = 3 so the radius = 3m

Now we plug in 3 into the formula

A=\pi 3^2\\3^2=9\\A=9\pi

Remember we do not apply pi because the answer should be in terms of pi.

Now we subtract the two

Area of white portion = 49 - 9π

Hence, the answer is A

dexamethasone 4 mg/1 ml is available. the MD orders 6000 mcg. how much will the nurse give? (Round to the tenth)​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

  1.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The abbreviation mcg stands for "microgram," or 10^-6 grams. The abbreviation mg stands for "milligram," or 10^-3 grams. The relationship between these is ...

  1 mg = 1000 mcg

<h3>Dose</h3>

The order for 6000 mcg is an order for 6(1000 mcg) = 6(1 mg) = 6 mg. At 4 mg/mL, the quantity of dexamethasone required is ...

  (6 mg)/(4 mg/mL) = (6/4) mL = 1.5 mL

The nurse will give 1.5 milliliters of dexamethasone.
