Answer:

The patient will receive 2 whole tablets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of the drug to be administered can be expressed as;

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=Dose per weight of patient×weight of patient

where;

Dose per weight of patient=7.5 mg per kg

weight of patient=110 lb

1 kilogram=2.205 lb

weight of patient in kilograms=110/2.205=49.89 kilograms

replacing;

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=Dose per weight of patient×weight of patient

Total dose of aminophylline to be administered=(7.5×49.89)=374.175 mg

Total weight of tablets=374.175 mg

Total weight of tablets=weight per tablet×number of tablets

where;

Total weight of tablets=374.175 mg

Weight per tablet=0.125 g

1 gram=1000 mg

Weight per tablet in mg=(1,000×0.125)=125 mg

Number of tablets=n

replacing;

Total weight of tablets=weight per tablet×number of tablets

374.175=125×n

n=374.175/125

n=2.9934

The patient will receive 2 whole tablets.

Brandon has 32 stamps. he wants to display the stamps in rows,with the same n
AleksandrR [38]
Okay, let's work this out...
What we know:
-32 stamps in all
- rows (horizontal)
- same # in each
What we "want to know" :
- # of combinations (different)
Problem Solving :
This is actually very easy its just the words than get ya!
1st : we need to figure out the factors of 32...
In other words, we need to figure out _x_=32 and how many different combinations and ways there are!
Note:(* means multiplication)
#1: What are the factors of 32?
32: 1*32 , 2*16 , 4*8
32: 32*1 , 16*2 , 8*4
The factors (not including 1 are 2,4,8,16)
Now, as you can see, there are 4 ways to get 32 as shown first.
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
^
That ¦ is 1 way with 16 in 2 rows. Basic multiplication, 16*2=32 or 16+16=32.
But, this is also a way,
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
Now there should be 2 in each row and 16 rows. Again 2*16=32 or 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=32
That's two ways so far.
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
Another way which is 4 rows with 8 in each.
4*8=32 or 8+8+8+8=32
But, this is also a way,
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
Now that is 8 rows with 4 in each. 8*4=32 or 4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4=32
That was our fourth way.
Again NOT including 1. If you include 1 then there will be 6 ways but aside from that there are 4 ways.
I hope that helped I worked hard typing this all for you. Any questions just ask!

If the area of a square is 100 cm2, what is the perimeter?<br>​
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter, first we need to find the side lengths.

If 100 cm is the area then we need to find what number squared is 100

10 x 10 = 100

So 10 is the side length. P= s + s + s +s

10 + 10 + 10 +10 = 40

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

B. 33.7 mm; 54mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>To find the perimeter, use the formula:</u></em>

P = a + b + c

P = 12 + 12 + 9.7

P = 33.7

<em><u>To find area, use the formula:</u></em>

A = \frac{1}{2} bh

A = \frac{1}{2} (12)(9)

A = \frac{1}{2} (108)

A = 54

Y=1/2x-1
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

<h2>Y=1/2x-1</h2>

Find where the expression

1/2x−1 is undefined.

x=1/2

Consider the rational function

R(x)=ax^n/bx^m where n is the degree of the numerator and m is the degree of the denominator.

1. If n<m, then the x-axis, y=0, is the horizontal asymptote.

2. If n=m, then the horizontal asymptote is the line y = ab.

3. If n>m, then there is no horizontal asymptote (there is an oblique asymptote).

Find n and m.n=0m=1

Since n<m, the x-axis, y=0, is the horizontal asymptote.y=0

There is no oblique asymptote because the degree of the numerator is less than or equal to the degree of the denominator.

No Oblique Asymptotes

This is the set of all asymptotes.

Vertical Asymptotes:

x=1/2

Horizontal Asymptotes:

y=0

No Oblique Asymptotes

<h2>2x+y=4</h2>

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.

y=4−2x

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

Reorder 4 and −2x.

y=−2x+4

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of m and b using the form

y=mx+b.

m= - 2b=4

The slope of the line is the value of m, and the y-intercept is the value of b.

Slope: −2

y-intercept: (0,4)

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y

values.

Find the x-intercept.

x-intercept(s):

(2,0)

Find the y-intercept.

y-intercept(s):

(0,4)

Create a table of the x and y values.

x y

0 4

2 0

Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

Slope: −2

y-intercept:

(0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it is helpful...
