Answer:

13.14 litres

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Dwight was told by his mystic guru that a special medicine would help him gain superhuman strength to fight bears. The instructions say “Take 2 drops per 10 pounds of body weight per day, in 4 doses a day.” Dwight weighs 180 lbs. There are approximately 20 drops in 1 mL. How many liters of the medicine should Dwight buy to have a supply for the next five years.

If Dwight takes 2 drops per 10 pounds of body weight per day and he weighs 180 pounds, the total drop per 180 pounds will be expressed as;

2drops = 10pounds

x drop = 180pounds

Cross multiply

10x = 360

Divide both sides by 10

10x/10 = 360/10

x = 36 drops

Therefore he uses 36drops per day (This is for one dose)

Since he is to take 4doses of it in a day, the total amount of drops he will take in a day will be 4×36 = 144drops/day

Before we can calculate the amount of litres he will need for the next 5years , we will have to know the total drops he will need for that 5 years first. This is shown below;

Converting 5years to days:

1year = 365days (excluding a leap year)

5years = 5×365 = 1,825 days

Since 1day = 144 drops

1,825 days = x drops

Cross multiply

x = 1825 × 144

x = 262,800 drops

This means that he will need 262,800 drops for 5years

If there are approximately 20 drops in a ml

262800 drops will be in (262800/20)ml

262800/20 = 13140mL

Convert 13140mL to litres

13140mL = 131400× 10^-3 Litres

13140mL = 13140/1000 litres

13140mL = 13.14Litres

Hence Dwight will have to buy 13.14litres of the medicine to have a supply for the next five years.

Answer and Explanation:

Swift's description of these groups of people reinforces the hypocrisy of Irish society. That's because Swift shows how businessmen, religious people, people considered good and progressive, who promote the advancement of society, are the main culprits for the terrible situation that the poor had to face. In addition to not worrying about the neediest, Swift shows how these citizens judge the poor, do not help them and treat them as a problem, which shows that they are not good people, but hypocrites who only care about themselves.
