Answer:

\frac{63}{32}oz or 1.96875oz

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by setting up a ratio. The first step is to convert the dosage into decimal form. 3/4oz=0.75oz. Now, you know that for a 24 pound child, you need 0.75oz of medicine. 24:0.75=63:x, which can be turned into the fractions \frac{24}{0.75}=\frac{63}{x}. Multiplying both sides by x and dividing both sides by \frac{24}{0.75}, you get x=1.96875, or \frac{63}{32}oz. Hope this helps!

The Reeds are moving across the country. Mr. Reed leaves 4.5 hours before Mrs. Reed. If he averages 70 mph and she averages 85 m
Bond [772]
I was originally going to graph the two equations, but I don't have graph paper so I set the equations equal to each other.
so Mr.Reeds equation is: y=70x+4.5 and Mrs.Reeds equation is: y=85x
so if I set these equal to each other I would minus the 70x from both sides leaving me with 15x = 4.5. Now since that's done I would divide everything by 15 which will cause me to get a fraction. So once that's done I would be left with x=3/10. I hope this helped!

Town P and Town Q are 80 km apart. A train travels from P to Q at an average speed of 120 km/h, waits, and travels from Q back t
damaskus [11]

Answer:

7 minutes 48 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed for the whole journey is

distance / time, so

105 = (2*80)/ (t + t2)

where t is the time when it is moving and t2 is the time it stays at town Q.

Time for journey P to Q

= distance / speed

= 80 /120

= 2/3 hours,

Time for journey Q to P

= 80/110

= 8/11 hours

So t = 2/3 + 8/11

= 46/33 hours.

- and substituting in the equation for the whole journey:

160 / (46/33 + t2) = 105

105*46/33 + 105*t2 = 160

105 t2 = 160 - (105*46)/33

           = 160 - 146.364

           = 13.636

t2 = 13.636/105 = 0.1299 hours.

= 7 minutes 48 seconds.

A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. If the area of the pool and the path combined
suter [353]

Answer: the width of the uniform path is 9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the uniform path.

A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. It means that the combined length of the pool and the uniform path is (18 + 2x) meters and the combined width of the pool and the uniform path is (22 + 2x) meters.

If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1440 square meters, it means that

(18 + 2x)(22 + 2x) = 1440

396 + 36x + 44x + 4x² = 1440

4x² + 80x + 396 - 1440 = 0

4x² + 80x - 1044 = 0

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes

x² + 20x - 261 = 0

x² + 29x - 9x - 261 = 0

x(x + 29) - 9(x + 29) = 0

x - 9 = 0 or x + 29 = 0

x = 9 or x = 29

Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 9 meters

The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Contr
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution,

X \sim Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of American births resulting in a defect.

The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately <em>p</em> = 1/33.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 5 American births are selected.

It is assumed that the births are independent, i.e. a birth can be defective or not is independent of the other births.

In this experiment the success is defined as a defective birth.

The random variable <em>X</em> satisfies all criteria of a Binomial distribution.

The criteria are:

  • Number of observations is constant
  • Independent trials
  • Each trial has only two outcomes: Success and Failure
  • Same probability of success for each trial

Thus, the appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution, Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).
