Answer:

  274 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Often medical solutions expressed as a percentage are not really a percentage as such. A percentage is the ratio of two quantities with the same units.

Here, the context given by the problem suggests the "25%" solution is really (25 g)/(100 mL). That is, the units are grams and milliliters--different units.

With that assumption, we want to find the volume (v) of solution needed to deliver 6 g of medicine. An appropriate proportion* is ...

  v/(6 g) = (100 mL)/(25 g)

  v = (6 g)(100 mL)/(25 g) = 24 mL

So, the total volume of the infusion is ...

  250 mL +24 mL = 274 mL

_____

* The concentration is given in terms of g/mL, but we have used a proportion that is mL/g. The reason for that is we want the variable to be in the numerator of the ratio. The variable here represents volume, so we have written the proportion with volumes in the numerators.

Having the variable in the numerator means the equation can be solved in one step--by multiplying by its denominator.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

20 (minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the first columns, and it tells us that Charlie runs 2 laps in 8 minutes. Then simply divide by two, then you'll get that Charlie runs 1 lap in 4 minutes. So for five laps, multiply 4 by 5, which is 20.

Answer:

When I was a child I have nothing, my mind is just like a blank paper that needs to write but my family is the one who put first-hand information on me. They are the ones who taught me values, ethics, and some responsibilities that cannot be learned in school.  

Family values can affect long-term in the development individual

During childhood, the child's self-concept is still forming. They acquire skills that are the basic foundation for learning through adulthood.

The support of my family helps a lot during my development, the feeling of love, safety, and security coming from my family helped formed my self-esteem and well-being.

My family is the first person who influences me about numeracy, literacy skills, and good values.
