Q. A pharmacist mixes 3 grams of compound with 5,000 milligrams of solution to create a prescription. How many total grams is th
1 answer:
Answer: 8 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two units of mass: grams and milligrams
The prescription has 3 grams of compound with 5,000 milligrams of solution.
To know how many grams in total there are in the mixture we must convert
5000 milligrams to grams.
By definition in 1 gram there are 1000 mg.
Then we perform the following operation
Then the total amount of grams in the prescription is:

Let's convert these inequalities to Slope Intercept Form so that we can graph them easily.
<span>−10x − 5y ≥ 15
Add 10x to both sides.
-5y </span>≥ 10x + 15
Divide both sides by -5 and flip the inequality sign.
y <span>≤ -2x - 3
</span><span>x + y ≤ − 1
Subtract x from both sides.
</span><span>y ≤ -x − 1
When graphed, the solutions lay in Quadrants II, III, and IV. You can see this in the picture I've included.</span>
