Answer:

164.6 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of the patient= 120 lbs

Height of patient = 5'8" = 5 × 12 + 8 = 68 inches

Dose of Taxol to be administered= 100 mg/ m²

Now,

the surface area of the body of patient = \textup{(Weight in kg)}^{0.425}\times\textup{(Height in cms)}^{0.725}\times0.007184

Also,

weight of patient in kg = 120 × 0.454 = 54.48 kg

Height of patient in cm = 68" × 2.54 = 172.72 cm

therefore,

Body surface area = \textup{(54.48)}^{0.425}\times\textup{(172.72)}^{0.725}\times0.007184

or

= 5.47 × 41.89 × 0.007184

or

= 1.646 m²

Hence,  

Dose of Taxol to be received by the patient

= 100 mg/m²  × surface area of the patient

= 100 × 1.646

= 164.6 mg

In science class, a student is measuring the temperature of a solution in science experiment. The solution
Radda [10]

Answer:

-11.8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

-3.4 to 12.4        increased  (difference = 15.8)

12.4 to 20.4      decreased (difference = 8)

20.4 to 3.2        increased  (difference = 17.2)

<u>To find:</u>

Final temperature.

Solution:

As we noticed, this is a pattern of increase, decrease, increase... (and so on and so forth). From this alone, we have gotten the clue that the temperature is going to decrease. But here is the thing, How far will it decrease?

Use the difference of the starting result to find the ending result.

3.2 - 15

= -11.8

Therefore, the final temperature is -11.8.
