Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You don't need to memorize all of the square roots. Looking at each square root, find a number close to it that you know -- The square root of five is close to the square root of four, which is 2. The square root of 28 is close to the square root of 25, which is 5. 28 is a slightly bigger than 25, so the square root will be slightly greater than 5.
Answer:
The patient would receive 1.05mg of the drug weekly.
Step-by-step explanation:
First step: How many mcg of the drug would the patient receive daily?
The problem states that he takes three doses of 50-mcg a day. So
1 dose - 50mcg
3 doses - x mcg
x = 50*3
x = 150 mcg.
He takes 150mcg of the drug a day.
Second step: How many mcg of the drug would the patient receive weekly?
A week has 7 days. He takes 150mcg of the drug a day. So:
1 day - 150mcg
7 days - x mcg
x = 150*7
x = 1050mcg
He takes 1050mcg of the drug a week.
Final step: Conversion of 1050 mcg to mg
Each mg has 1000 mcg. How many mg are there in 1050 mcg? So
1mg - 1000 mcg
xmg - 1050mcg
1000x = 1050
x = 1.05mg
The patient would receive 1.05mg of the drug weekly.
