While still in the hospital, the doctor writes an order for an antibiotic at 400mg / kg/day. You are nervous now because the nur

se was wrong before. Assuming that you weigh 132 lb, determine how many milligrams should you be given. What is the equivalent number of grams? ( Hint: 1000mg = 1 g and mg / kg / day = mg/ kg × day)
I don't even need the answer, I just need to know that I'll be setting it up correctly.
Thanks

132 lbs = approximately 60 kg.
400 mg * 60 = 24000 mg = 24 g.

That is if you should have 400 mg of antibiotics/kg of body mass.

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination. Show all work for credit.
Tomtit [17]
Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:
y =  \frac{ -  \frac{1}{2} x + 2}{3}  \\ y =  - x + 9

Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:
\frac{  - \frac{ 1}{2}x + 2 }{3}  =  - x + 9
Now you can solve the equation:
-  \frac{1}{2} x + 2 = 3( - x + 9) \\   - \frac{ 1}{2}x  + 2 =  - 3x + 27 \\  \\  -  \frac{1}{2} x + 3x = 27 - 2 \\   \frac{5}{2} x = 25 \\ x =  \frac{(25)(2)}{5}  \\ x = 10
Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result

y =  - (10) + 9 \\ y =  - 1
So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1

A restaurant offers a​ $12 dinner special that has 77 choices for an​ appetizer, 1010 choices for an​ entrée, and 44 choices for
krok68 [10]
<span>280 I'm assuming that this question is badly formatted and that the actual number of appetizers is 7, the number of entres is 10, and that there's 4 choices of desserts. So let's take each course by itself. You can choose 1 of 7 appetizers. So we have n = 7 After that, you chose an entre, so the number of possible meals to this point is n = 7 * 10 = 70 Finally, you finish off with a dessert, so the number of meals is: n = 70 * 4 = 280 Therefore the number of possible meals you can have is 280. Note: If the values of 77, 1010 and 44 aren't errors, but are actually correct, then the number of meals is n = 77 * 1010 * 44 = 3421880 But I believe that it's highly unlikely that the numbers in this problem are correct. Just imagine the amount of time it would take for someone to read a menu with over a thousand entres in it. And working in that kitchen would be an absolute nightmare.</span>
