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.

Alja [10]
<span>Given that Devorah is filling a pool with a hose. The volume.H. In liters, of water coming out of the hose in .m.minutes is given by the function H(m)=17.4m. However it is a sunny day, and water is also evaporating from the pool. Therefore,the volume ,V, in liters, of water in the pool m minutes after devorah started filling it is given by V(m)=17m.

  IfE be the volume of water, In Liters ,that has evaporated from the pool m minutes after devorah started filling it .

The formula for E(m) in terms of H(m) and V(m) is given by

E(m) = H(m) - V(m)

And

The formula for E(m) in terms of m is given by

E(m) = 17.4m - 17m = 0.4m</span>

the probability of the dice=E/S=E=1 and S=6 because it is one dice. so P=1/6.

the probability of the spinner=E/S=E=1 and S=4 because the spinner is divided into 4. so P=1/4
