<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>It can create confusion with English system or SI system leading to fatal consequences</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

A healthcare professional might have studied the SI system in his college studies and he might be using metric system in hospital. This sort of errors may lead to fatal results for example if a weight machine records weight in kg and the healthcare professional is more familiar with pounds then it can produce big mistakes because he might take weight into pounds and lead to death of patient. For example, a weight may be entered into electronic health record as 35 kilograms (the equivalent of 77 pounds) rather than the actual weight of 35 pounds so it can cause serious issues.

1) A farmer has sheep and cattle in the ratio 8:3.
natima [27]

Answer:

Q 1)

a) No of sheep = 480

b) 8 : 11

c) 11 : 3

Q 2)

Each person will receive: $360,000, $270,000 and $180,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of sheep to cattle = 8 : 3

Let the number of sheep be 8x

And number of cattle be 3x

a)

No of cattle = 180 (Given)

Therefore,

3x = 180

x = 180/3

x = 60

Therefore, 8x = 8*60 = 480

No of sheep = 480

b)

Total animals = 180 + 480 = 660

Ratio of sheep to the total number of animals

= 480 : 660

= 8 : 11

c)

Ratio of total animals to the number of cattle

= 660 : 180

= 11 : 3

Q 2) Let each person will receive 4x, 3x and 2x dollars.

Therefore,

4x + 3x + 2x = 810,000

9x = 810000

x = 810000/9

x = 90,000

Therefore,

4x = 4*90,000 = $360,000

3x = 3*90,000 = $270,000

2x = 2*90,000 = $180,000

So, each person will receive $360,000, $270,000 and $180,000.

2. If a gambler makes repeated wagers, each with a probability of winning equal to 0.40, what is
Umnica [9.8K]

The probability of losing first 5 wagers is (0.6)⁵

<u>Explanation:</u>

The probability of winning = 0.4

The probability of losing = 1 - 0.4

                                      = 0.6

Probability of losing their first 5 wagers = ?

Probability of losing first 5 wagers = (0.6)⁵

Therefore, the probability of losing first 5 wagers is (0.6)⁵

Solve y=f(x) for x . f(x)=23x+4 x= Question 2 Find the input when the output is 2. The input is .
Fantom [35]

Let's find f(x) = 2, which is essentially what the problem is asking, what x corresponds to an output of 2.


Let's solve below:

f(x) = 2

  • Setting up what we know

23x + 4 = 2

  • Substituting in 23x + 4 for f(x) (I'm not sure if this is the correct expression for f(x) due to formatting issues)

23x = -2

  • Subtract 4 from both sides to make a step to isolate x (what we are trying to find)

x = - \frac{2}{23}

  • Divide both sides of the equation by 23 to isolate x

Thus the input is \boxed{x = - \frac{2}{23}}.
