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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove parentheses.

\frac{-8+4(4.5)}{6.25-8.25} \\

Add −8 and 4.5.

\frac{4(-3.5)}{6.25 - 8.25} \\\\

Subtract 8.25 from 6.25.

\frac{4*-3.5}{-2}

Multiply 4 by −3.5.

\frac{-14}{-2}

Divide −14 by −2.
