Answer: The total cholesterol is 199

Explanation:

Total cholesterol = LDL + HDL + Triglycerides

= 77 + 62 + 60

= 199.

As the patients doctor, I'd advise that the patient makes life style changes as they are approaching total cholesterol of 200 which is borderline high. Life style changes will include diet changes especially.

Here is how Lydia found the product 4/5 x 10. Use the model given to show that Lydia's answer is correct.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: Lydia's answer is correct.

Explanation:

The solution used by Lydia is:

4/5 × 10 = 4 × 1/5 × 10

= 4 × 10/5

= 4 × 2

= 8

The above solution by Lydia is correct.

Given the question, 4/5 × 10, this will be:

= 4/5 × 10/1

Let's multiply the numerator first, this will be: = 4 × 10 = 40

The denominator will be: = 5 × 1 = 5

Therefore, 4/5 × 10/1 = 40/5

Now when we divide 40 by 5, we will get 8. Therefore Lydia is correct.
