Remark

This question requires a proportion. We will set the body weight on top and the medicine on the bottom. That way the body weight (x) is in the numerator of one of the ratios.

Givens

Body weight1 = BW1 = 104

Medicine 1 = med1 = 130

Body Weight 1 = x

Medicine 2 = 278.74

Formula

BW2 / Med2 = BW1/ Med1

Sub and Solve

x / 278.75 = 104/130 Calculate the right side

x / 278.75 = 0.8 Multiply both sides by 278.75

x = 278.75 * 0.8 = 223

Conclusion

The Patient must have weighed 223 pounds.

f the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular path were reduced, w
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The frictional force between the tires and the road prevent the car from skidding off the road due to centripetal force.

If the frictional force is less than the centripetal force, the car will skid when it navigates a circular path.

The diagram below shows that when the car travels at tangential velocity, v, on a circular path with radius, r, the centripetal acceleration of v²/ r acts toward the center of the circle.

The resultant centripetal force is (mv²)/r, which should be balanced by the frictional force of μmg, where μ =  coefficient of kinetic friction., and mg is the normal reaction on a car with mass, m.

This principle is applied on racing tracks, where the road is inclined away from the circle to give the car an extra restoring force  to overcome the centripetal force.

A right rectangular prism has these dimensions: Length − Fraction 1 and 1 over 4 units Width − Fraction 5 over 8 unit Height − F
Sav [38]
Volume of rectangular prism = 1 1/3 x 5/6 x 2/3 = 4/3 x 5/6 x 2/3 = 20/27

Volume of cube = 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216

Number of cubes that will pack the rectangular prism = 20/27 / 1/216 = 160

siniylev [52]

Answer:

a) 7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

y-\frac{y-1}{2}=1-\frac{y-2}{3}  \\Through\ the\ butterfly\ method\ of\ resolving\ denominators\ ,\\\frac{2y-(y-1)}{2} = \frac{3-(y-2)}{3} \\\frac{2y-y+1}{2} = \frac{3-y+2}{3} \\\frac{y+1}{2} =\frac{5-y}{3} \\3(y+1)=2(5-y)\\3y+3=10-2y\\3y+2y=10-3\\5y=7\\y=\frac{7}{5}
