If y is directly proportional to x then y:x.
When y = 30, x = 6 then 30/6 = 5:1. Therefor for every 1x there is 5y vice versa. When x = 12, then y = 5 * 12 = 60.
Therefore y = 60 hence 60:12
as I read this one, they listed their sales as 1700, BUT the scale for those numbers are that each 1 is a "100", namely, they're on a 1:100 scale, so the 1700 is really 1700 * 100, or 170000.
170,000 is 170 * 1000, or 170 thousands.
To answer the question above, simplify both sides of the equation. This gives,
8x - 3 = 8x + 14
Next, cancel the term 8x because it appears on both sides of the equation giving,
-3 = 14
That is NOT true. Therefore, the answer is the equation is NEVER TRUE.
There are 24 hours in a day. For 7 days there will be 168 hours in total. Divide this number of hours by 6 to determine the number of times that the patient would have to take tablets.
(168 / 6) = 28 times
Each time, the patient is to take 2 tablets. Therefore, the number of tables for this prescription is 56.
