The key to your answer is in d): What is a success? What is a failure?
If a patient was -6.0 diopters and after Lasik was -1.00 diopter, most surgeons and those in the industry would consider this a failure. The patient, however, may consider it a success because at age 50 she does not need to use reading glasses and still qualifies for a driver's license with 20/40 distance vision.. A patient who can make out the Snellen 20/20 line - familiar letters in black on a white background in a controlled lighting environment - may be considered by the doctor a success, but the patient does not have the crispness of vision experienced before Lasik and with glasses.
The nonprofit patient advocacy USAEyes.org took a different approach. Success of Lasik means that the patient received what was expected - no matter the numbers. Using a scale of Much Worse Than Expected, Worse Than Expected, As Expected, Better Than Expected, and Much Better Than Expected, the USAEyes Competence Opinion Reletave to Expectations (CORE) patient survey found:
99% report quality of life as expected, better, or much better 98% day vision as expected, better, or much better 98% no complications or issues are seldom problematic 98% would recommend surgery to family and friends. 97% would have surgery again, knowing what they know now 96% wear corrective lenses as often as expected, less, or much less than expected 96% report postop vision without lenses as expected, better, or much better than expected when compared to preop vision with lenses 96% report overall quality of vision as expected, better, or much better than expected 91% no complications at any time 91% night vision as expected, better, or much better 7% complications seldom problematic – yet 91% of these same patients would have surgery again 2% complications frequent or always problematic – yet 22% of f these same patients would have surgery again
Answer: 10 to the 3rd power
Step-by-step explanation: 10 times 10 times 10 equals 10,000
Each piece will be the same length. We can convert 5 1/2 into an improper fraction. 5 1/2 = 11 / 2 Divide 66 by this improper fraction. 66 / (11 / 2) When we divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction. 66 * (2 / 11) = 2 * 6 = 12 12 pieces can be cut.
Answer: For the sum of 130
First: $90
Second: $40
Step-by-step explanation:
We write equations for each part of this situation.
<u>The Total Charge</u>
Together they charged 1550. This means 1550 is made up of the first mechanics rate for 15 hours and the second's rate for 5 hours. Lets call the first's rate a, so he charges 15a. The second's let's call b. He charges 5b. We add them together 15a+5b=1550.
<u>The Sum of the Rates</u>
Since the first's rate is a and the second is b, we can write a+b=130 since their sum is 130.
We solve for a and b by substituting one equation into another. Solve for the variable. Then substitute the value into the equation to find the other variable.
For a+b=130, rearrange to b=130-a and substitute into 15a+5b=1550.
15a + 5 (130-a)=1550
15a+650-5a=1550
10a+650-650=1550-650
10a=900
a=$90 was charged by the first mechanic.
We substitute to find the second mechanic's rate.
90+b=130
90-90+b=130-90
b= $40 was charged by the second mechanic
