Answer:
Total cooking time = 20t + 15
The expression 15t + 20 is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
weight of chicken = t lbs
cook time per lb = 20 minutes
This means that:
1 lb weight requires a cooking time of 20 minutes
1 lb = 20 minutes
∴ t lbs = 20 × t = 20t minutes.
We were also told that each chicken required an extra cooking time of 15 minutes, in addition to the total cooking time due to the weight. Therefore, the total cooking time is calculated thus:
Total cooking time = cooking time due to weight + 15 minutes
Total cooking time = 20t + 15
Hence the expression 15t + 20 is wrong, due to the explanation given above.

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.
Answer:
Not equivalent
