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.

What is the value of hin the figure below? In this diagram, ABAD ~ ACBD.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

  F.  8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the long side to the short side is the same in similar triangles. The long side of triangle BAD is AD, which has length 20-4 = 16.

  BD/DE = AD/BD

  h/4 = 16/h

  h^2 = 64 . . . . . . . multiply by 4h

  h = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (matches selection F)

_____

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>

BD = √(AD·DC) is called the "geometric mean" of the segments AD and DC. This geometry has some other geometric mean relationships as well:

BC = √(AC·DC)

BA = √(AC·AD)

Brandon has 32 stamps. he wants to display the stamps in rows,with the same n
AleksandrR [38]
Okay, let's work this out...
What we know:
-32 stamps in all
- rows (horizontal)
- same # in each
What we "want to know" :
- # of combinations (different)
Problem Solving :
This is actually very easy its just the words than get ya!
1st : we need to figure out the factors of 32...
In other words, we need to figure out _x_=32 and how many different combinations and ways there are!
Note:(* means multiplication)
#1: What are the factors of 32?
32: 1*32 , 2*16 , 4*8
32: 32*1 , 16*2 , 8*4
The factors (not including 1 are 2,4,8,16)
Now, as you can see, there are 4 ways to get 32 as shown first.
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
^
That ¦ is 1 way with 16 in 2 rows. Basic multiplication, 16*2=32 or 16+16=32.
But, this is also a way,
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
Now there should be 2 in each row and 16 rows. Again 2*16=32 or 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=32
That's two ways so far.
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
Another way which is 4 rows with 8 in each.
4*8=32 or 8+8+8+8=32
But, this is also a way,
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
Now that is 8 rows with 4 in each. 8*4=32 or 4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4=32
That was our fourth way.
Again NOT including 1. If you include 1 then there will be 6 ways but aside from that there are 4 ways.
I hope that helped I worked hard typing this all for you. Any questions just ask!

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
svp [43]

Answer:

13/20

Step-by-step explanation:

To add fractions without the common denominator, you have to make them equal so

1/4 x 5 = 5/20

2/5 x 4 = 8/20

5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20

Find the value of x<br><br> 8th weekly math homework-week 29
Verdich [7]
Since the other angle that right next to it, the same angle you equal both angles together.

4x = 68.

We want to get x by its self. There is a 4 with the x and they're multiplying. to get rid of 4 we need to the opposite of multiplying which is division on both sides of the equation.

4x = 68
/4      /4

4 divided by 4 is 1 and 68 divided by 4 is 17

x = 17 is the answer.
If you plug in x = 17 into 4x, it will be 68

Which angles are vertical to DEA? Question is located in the attached file (image)​
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

∠CEB

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical angle is one that is directly <em>opposite</em> to the original angle. In this image of two intersecting lines, it looks like the angle ∠CEB is directly across from our angle ∠DEA. So, the angle ∠CEB is <em>vertical to</em> ∠DEA.

Hopefully that was helpful! :)
