Answer:

36 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use concept of basic proportionality theorem,

it states that , when a line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle and intersect the other two sides then the two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Example:

In a triangle ABC

If DE is parallel to BC

D is a point on line AB and E is point on AC, then

by basic proportionality theorem)

AD/DB = AE/EC

_____________________________________

in the problem given one side has a parallel line drawn to it

Hence we can use basic proportionality theorem in it

20/30 = 24/?

2/3 = 24/?

=> ? = 24*3/2 = 36

Hence, missing segment value is 36 units.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

you need to convert pounds to kilograms. 196 pounds is 88.904 kilograms. The directions tell you that 20 milligrams of the drug is to be administered for each kilogram of a person's weight. Now you need to multiply 88.904 by 20. That should give you 1778.08 milligrams of lincomycin. You would then mix 250 cc's of saline solution to the 1778.08 milligrams of lincomycin; but I think its just asking you how much lincomycin to administer.

at what rate per minute should the 250 cc solution be adminstered

A long distance runner starts at the beginning of a trail and runs at a rate of 6 miles per hour. Two hours later, a cyclist sta

yanalaym [24]

If the runner moves at 6 miles per hour for 2 hours before the cyclist starts, the runner has a 12 mile lead at the beginning. If the cyclist is going at 16 miles per hour, he is overtaking the runner at 10 miles per hour, because 16-6=10. Then, the amount of time it takes the cyclist to go 2 miles in 10 miles per hour is the answer. this is 1/5 of an hour, or 12 minutes.
