Answer:

Rachel is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true that the set of integers includes negative numbers, where the sets of whole or natural numbers do not. However, any rational, irrational, or real number can be negative. -5.5 is a rational number, but <em>it is not an integer, because it has a fractional part</em>.

How long will it take to administer 1000 cc at a drop factor of 15 drop/ml and a drip rate of 50 drop/min

gayaneshka [121]

First, we are going to determine the number of drops that needs to be administered by dividing the total volume by the volume per drop. Since, 1 cc (cm³) is equal to 1 mL then, 1000 cc is equal to 1000 mL.

n = (1000 mL)(15 drop/1 mL) = 15000 drops

Then, divide the number of drops by the number of drops per minute.

N = (15000 drops)/ (50 drop/min) = 300 mins

Answer: 300 mins or 5 hours

What is the value of 2/3^-4

Reptile [31]

Answer:

$\frac{16}{49}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve problems like this, we need to multiply the base , $\frac{2}{3}$ , the amount of times as the exponent, 4.

Essentially, the equation is $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{2}{3}$ .

The product would be $\frac{16}{49}$ .

Now we can't forget that the exponent is a negative. But because the exponent is an even number, we don't need to worry about that.

Hope this helped :)
