Answer: 49 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to use proportions.

Proportion = weight/ mg of fever reducer

For every 6 kg of a child's weight, pediatricians prescribe 7 mg of fever reducer: 6/7

For 42 kg: 42/x

Where x is the amount in mg of fever reducer for Greg.

6 /7 = 42/x

Solving for x

x = 42/ (6/7)  

x= 49

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

49mg

Step-by-step explanation:

let's call every 7 mg of fever reducer a "dose"

Divide the weight of Greg by the weight per "dose"

42/6 = 7 doses

Each "dose" is 7mg. Multiply the number of doses by 7mg.

7 dose X 7mg = 49mg

Therefore, if Greg weighs 42kg, the pediatrician will prescribe 49mg of fever reducer.

The number of goals scored by a soccer team varies directly as the number of shots on goal. If the Lakeside Bears scored 4 goals
enot [183]

Since it varies directly, divide the number of shots by the number of goals:

48 shots / 4 goals = 12

This tells you they score a goal every 12 shots.

Multiply shots needed by number of goals:

12 x 3 = 36

They need 36 more shots to score 3 more goals.

Find value of x such that the data set has a mean of 105: 99, 119, 106, 112; 108
Marizza181 [45]
I'm assuming that x is part of the data set, and, with x, the mean equals 105. To find the value of x, you must add all the data values together to get 544+x (you still don't know what x equals). Then put 544+x over how many days values there are, including x (there are 6). You should have 544+x/6. Now, as this is how you would calculate the mean if you knew what x was equal to, you must set it equal to the mean, since you know what it is (105). You should now have 544+x/6 = 105. You have your equation set up--now you just have to solve it. I would multiply by 6 on both sides to get rid of the 6 on the left side. You would then have 544+x = 630. I would finally subtract 544 from both sides to get x = 86. Your final answer is x = 86.
