Answer:

4.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of Acetaminophen prescribed is 15 mg/kg. This means for every 1 kg of the child's weight, 15 mg of Acetaminophen will be administered to the child.

Weight of the child = 9.6 kg

Since, for each 1 kg the amount of Acetaminophen is 15 mg, the amount of Acetaminophen needed for 9.6 kg will be = 9.6 x 15 = 144 mg

Therefore, the child must be administered 144 mg of Acetaminophen in total.

The strength of Acetaminophen is 160mg / 5 mL. This means 5 mL of an injection contains 160 mg of Acetaminophen. But since, the child needs 144 mg, we need to calculate in mL, the volume of injection needed for 144 mg of Acetaminophen.

160 mg of Acetaminophen is present in an injection of volume = 5mL

1 mg of Acetaminophen is present in an injection of volume = $\frac{5}{160}$ mL

144 mg of Acetaminophen is present in an injection of volume = $\frac{5}{160} \times 144 = 4.5$ mL

Thus, 4.5 mL of the injection will contain 144mg of Acetaminophen which would be administered to the patient.

One hundred employees of a company are asked how they get to work and whether they work full time or part time. The table below

inna [77]

The probability is 56/100, or 14/25 = 0.56.

These events are not mutually exclusive, meaning they can happen at the same time. This means we use

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(carpool or full time) = P(carpool) + P(full time) - P(carpool & full time)

There are 6+9=15 people out of 100 that carpool.
There are 7+4+30+6=47 people out of 100 that work full time.
There are 6 people out of 100 that carpool and work full time.

This gives us
15/100 + 47/100 - 6/100 = 56/100

ruslelena [56]

Solution:
3,500,000 - 2,030,000 = 1,470,000 square miles
Explanation:
Let's fully understand what this word problem is saying. Break it down.
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world.
The Australian Desert is the second largest desert.
This means that the Australian Desert has an area that is less than the Sahara desert.
We are given the size of the Sahara, which is 3,500,000 square miles, but not the size of the Australian desert.The area of the Australian desert is less by 2,030,000 square miles.This is the amount we have to subtract from the area of the Sahara to find the size of the Australian desert:
3,500,000-2,030,000= 1,470,000 square miles. Hope this helps!
