Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure this out you first need to determine how many kg there are in 220 lbs. 1 lb equals 0.454 kg, so 220 lbs= 99.88 kg.
It states that a patient receives 7mcg per kg per minute, so the patient will receive 7 x 99.88=699.16 mcg per minute.
You need to convert this to a number of mcg per hour, so multiply the amount by 60 to get 41949.6 mcg per hour.
OK. I did it, and I have the solution.

The length of the deck is (5 + 2x) .
The width of the deck is (4 + 2x) .
If the deck didn't have that big hole in the middle where the pool is,
then its area would be
(5 + 2x) · (4 + 2x) .
When you multiply that all out, you get Area = 4x² + 18x + 20
and the question tells us that the area of the whole big rectangle is 90 yds² .
So we can write
4x² + 18x + 20 = 90 .
Subtract 90 from each side: 4x² + 18x - 70 = 0
Divide each side by 2 : 2x² + 9x - 35 = 0
You can use the quadratic equation to solve that and find out that
x = 2.5 yards, and that's what the question is asking you.

That makes the deck 10 yds high and 9 yds wide.
Total area of the whole big rectangle, (deck + pool ), = 90 yds².
