Answer:

You should take 2 tablets of Aspirin.

Six tablets is not the correct dosage.

You should get 4 tablets.

Step-by-step explanation:

You wake up with a fever! All you can find at the store is Aspirin, and the bottle says to take 162 mg. The bottle also says each tablet has 81 mg in each tablet. How many tablets should you take?

This can be solved by this following rule of three.

1 tablet - 81mg

x tablets - 162mg

81x = 162

x = \frac{162}{81}

x = 2

You should take 2 tablets of Aspirin.

The doctor orders 120 mg of medicine to be given twice a day. The nurse comes in with 6 tablets and tells you that there are 30 mg in each tablet. Is this the correct dosage?

We need to see how many mg are in 6 tablets. If there are 120mg in 6 tablets, this is the correct dosage. We verify this by the following rule of three:

1 tablet - 30mg

6 tablets - x mg

x = 30*6

x = 180mg.

In 6 tablets, there are 180mg. So, it is not the correct dosage.

If not, how many tablets should you get?

Knowing that each tablet has 30mg, in how many tablets are there 120mg?

1 tablet - 30 mg

x tablets - 120 mg

30x = 120

x = \frac{120}{30}

x = 4

You should get 4 tablets.

a bathtub is in the shape of a rectangular prism. its dimensions are 5 feet by 3 feet by 18 inches. the bathtub is three-fourths
crimeas [40]
The bathtub has dimensions 5 ft by 3 ft by 18 inches.
Note that 18 inches = 18/12 = 1.5 ft.

The volume of the bathtub is
V = 5*3*1.5 = 22.5 ft³

The bathtub is three-fourths (0.75) full of water. Therefore the volume of water is
0.75*22.5 = 16.875 ft³

The water is lost at the rate of 1 ft³/min.
If it takes x minutes to empty the bathtub, then
(1 ft³/min)*(x min) = (16.875 ft³)
x = 16.875 min

Answer: 16.875 minutes
