Answer:

a. 24.9476 Kg.

b. The safe daily dosage range is between 2494760 units /day and 6236900 units/day

c. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Lets see the convertion from lb to Kg:

  • 1 Lb= 0.453592
  • 55 lb = 0.453592*55= 24.9476 kg

b. Minimum daily dosage is 100,000 units /kg

  • For this kid: 100,000 * 24.9476= 2,494,760 units/ day
  • in 6 dosis; 2494760/6= 415,793.33 units every 4 hours

Maximun daily dosage is 250,000 units /kg

  • For this kid: 250,000 * 24.9476= 6,236,900 units/ day
  • in 6 dosis; 6,236,900/6= 1,039,483.33 units every 4 hours

c: Yes, because 525.000 units every 4 hours is between the minimun and maximun dosaje for this kid

Answer:

x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

What the problem is telling you is that the unlabeled angle is the same as the 70 degree angle. Since all the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. First take 70+70, which equals 140. Now take the 180-140=40 ,so 40 would be the missing angle.

A scale on a map shows that 2.52.52, point, 5 centimeters represents 151515 kilometers.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

  105 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Written as a proportion, the ratio of km to cm will be the same for both distances:

  (x km)/(17.5 cm) = (15 km)/(2.5 cm)

  x km = (15 km)(17.5/2.5) = 105 km

105 actual kilometers are represented by 17.5 cm on the map.
