1 answer:

3 0

Let x be the unknown number. This means that "six times a number" becomes 6x. Finally, we want to compute the quotient between this quantity and 16, which leads to

$\dfrac{6x}{16}$

Which point should be removed for the graph to represent a table of equivalent ratios?

vodomira [7]

<h3>Answer: D. (5,15)</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

As the graph shows, three of the four points are on the same line. That line being y = 5x. This line has slope 5 and y intercept 0.

The point not fitting this pattern is the point (5,15), so that is the final answer.

For the other three points, note that the jump from x to y coordinate is "times 5". For example, y = 5x = 5*2 = 10 for point A. In contrast, point D has a jump of "times 3" when going from x to y.

--------------

Alternatively, you can divide each y coordinate by its corresponding x coordinate.

For choice A, we have y/x = 10/2 = 5
Choice B has y/x = 15/3 = 5
Choice C has y/x = 20/4 = 5

All results are 5 so far. Choice D doesn't follow the trend and instead has y/x = 15/5 = 3. This is another way to show that choice D is the answer.

A patient is instructed to take three 50-mcg tablets of pergolide mesylate (Permax) daily. How many milligrams of the drug would

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The patient would receive 1.05mg of the drug weekly.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step: How many mcg of the drug would the patient receive daily?

The problem states that he takes three doses of 50-mcg a day. So

1 dose - 50mcg

3 doses - x mcg

x = 50*3

x = 150 mcg.

He takes 150mcg of the drug a day.

Second step: How many mcg of the drug would the patient receive weekly?

A week has 7 days. He takes 150mcg of the drug a day. So:

1 day - 150mcg

7 days - x mcg

x = 150*7

x = 1050mcg

He takes 1050mcg of the drug a week.

Final step: Conversion of 1050 mcg to mg

Each mg has 1000 mcg. How many mg are there in 1050 mcg? So

1mg - 1000 mcg

xmg - 1050mcg

1000x = 1050

$x = \frac{1050}{1000}$

x = 1.05mg

The patient would receive 1.05mg of the drug weekly.
