Answer:I assume you mean 0.5g. This decimal is very important so make sure you are accurate in providing decimals. Ok so here goes the problem.

The order reads:give 0.5g you place this in the problem first:

0.5g | | | | capsule

-------------------------------------------------------

| | | |

then you add how it is supplied:

0.5g | 1 capsule | | | capsule

-------------------------------------------------------

| 250mg | | |

Now you need to convert g to mg:

0.5g | 1 capsule | 1000mg | | capsule

-------------------------------------------------------

| 250mg | 1g | |

cross off and eliminate which leaves you with:

0.5g | 1 capsule | 1000mg | 500 | 2 capsule

-------------------------------------------------------

| 250mg | 1g | 250 |

This eliminates grams, and milligrams and results in capsules. So multiply across and divide. 500 divided by 250 = 2 so 2 capsules (Sorry I couldn't do overstrikes but I hope you can visualize the crossing off.)

Answer: There should be 0.5 mg in each dose.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of Cephalexin has been ordered for an adult patient in the next 24 hours = 3 grams

We need to divide it into 6 equally spaced doses.

So, Quantity of each dose would be

\dfrac{3}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=0.5\ mg

Hence, there should be 0.5 mg in each dose.

How do I find the perimeter of a polygon?
noname [10]

Add up the lengths of the several sides of the polygon.

Examples: The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of the 3 sides.

The perimeter of a hexagon is the sum of the lengths of the 6 sides.

And so on.

I highly recommend drawing any polygon whose perimeter you wish to calculate.

Can someone help me with this real quick?​
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

11. A) 6x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

11. Subtract 10 from both sides to make it equal 6x=13

12. For #12... None of the answers seem right? If you distribute and subtract, it should be

-4x + 44 = 66 then

-4x = 22...

Sorry if this didn’t help much, I know that 11 is right though ;)
