Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

twenty less = -20

from 8(times a number) and the number is unknown which means it would have variable next to the eight = 8x

therefore the equation would look like 8x-20 =76. then solve it like:

8x-20+20=76+20

8x = 96

8x/8=96/8

x= 12

Classify the following data. Indicate whether the data is qualitative or quantitative, indicate whether the data is discrete, co

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Quantitative

Discrete

Ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of days traveled by randomly selected employees is a quantitative variable because it can be presented meaningful numerical form and further the number of days traveled by randomly selected employees are discrete because the number of days can be counted. Now, the level of measurement for the variable "number of days traveled by employees" is ratio scale because it has a meaningful zero. Meaningful zero in this case will means that none of the day is spent on travelling.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME !!!!!!!!!

MissTica

Answer:

She will get 80mg of dextromethorphan and 800mg of guaifenesin. And the bottle last for 6 days approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Robitussin DM contains dextromethorphan 10mg/5mL and gualfenesin 100mg/5mL. And we are also given that Mrs Smith took four doses and each dose is 2 teaspoons=2X5=10mL.

So, four doses=4X10=40mL.

So, dextromethorphan in 4 doses is = $\frac{10}{5}X40=80mg$

And Guaifenesin in 4 doses is = $\frac{100}{5}X40=800mg$

Dosage of medicine daily she has to take=40mL and the bottle contains 237 mL. Hence the number of days bottle last = $\frac{237}{40}=5.925$ ≈6 days approximately.
