Answer:

His daily dosage is 199.6 mg divided in four doses of 49.9 mg. The Nurse needs to draw 2.495 mL from a medicine that comes in 100mg/5mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the daily dose we first need to find the mass of the Patient in kg. To do that we need to divide his weigh in lbs by 2.205.

weigh = \frac{22}{2.205} = 9.98 \text{ kg}

Since he needs to take 20 mg of drug per kg of body in a day, we need to multiply his weigh by this dosage:

\text{daily dosage} = 9.98*20 = 199.6 \text{ mg}

Each individual dose must be \frac{1}{4} of his daily dose, so:

\text{each dose} = \frac{199.6}{4} = 49.9 \text{ mg}

Since the medicine comes in 100mg /5 mL, the nurse needs:

\text{volume of dose} = \frac{49.9}{100}*5 = 2.495 \text{ mL}

The equation of a line that passes through (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)


find slope

slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(-3,2) and (2,1)
slope=(1-2)/(2-(-3))=(-1)/(2+5)=-1/5


pikc a point
if we pick (-3,2)
(x1,y1)
x1=-3
y1=2

y-2=-1/5(x-(-3))
y-2=-1/5(x+3)
that is D

Please help me!!!!!!!!:(
horsena [70]

Answer:

24% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total number of graduates in the table, that number is 2610, that will be your numerator.

You will look at the table for the total number of students, that is 10730, that will be the denominator.

Now divide the smaller number/numerator (2610) by the larger number/denominator (10730)

\frac{2610}{10730} = 0.2432432...

Then, multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 24.32432...%

Now, round to the nearest percentage: 24%
