There is no cure for the common cold, but here are some things you can do. Grandma was right—chicken soup actually is good for a

cold! One serving of soup every 4 hours. Zinc lozenges could help you get better sooner. One lozenge every 6 hours. Aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen to relieve some symptoms: two tables every 2 hours. If in addition to the soup (every 4 hours), the lozenges (every 6 hours), and the aspirin (every 2 hours) you take a 12-hour nasal spray and you start your medications at 12 P.M., in how many hours will you have to take all four medicines again?

Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The time intervals between dosages are:

Soup: 4 hours

Zinc lozenges: 6 hours

Aspirin: 2 hours

Nasal spray: 12 hours

To find in how many hours you will take all four medicines again, find the least common multiple to all time intervals:

LCM\\\\\begin{array}{ccccc}2&4&6&12&|2\\1&2&3&6&|2\\1&1&3&3&|3\\1&1&1&1\end{array} \\\\LCM = 2*2*3=12

You will have to take all four medicines again in 12 hours.

In an arithmetic-sudoku, the values 1,2,3,4 appear exactly once in each row and each column. Which value belongs in the grey squ
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Value 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of rows and columns of the Sudoku is not stated; so, I will assume it is 5 by 5, since there is only one gray square left to be occupied.

If 1 - 4 appears in each row and 1 - 4 appears in each column (take for instance, the attached Sudoku image), then the value that should be entered in the gray square is 5.

If f(x) = 4 – x2 and g(x) = 6x, which expression is equivalent to (g – f)(3)?
Llana [10]
F(x) = -x² + 4
g(x) = 6x

(g - f)(3) = 6(3) - (-(3)² + 4)
(g - f)(3) = 18 - (-9 + 4)
(g - f)(3) = 18 - (-5)
(g - f)(3) = 18 + 5
(g - f)(3) = 23

As a nurse, part of your daily duties is to mix medications in the proper proportions for your patients. For one of your regular
spayn [35]

Answer:

10 milligrams of Medication A

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll write proportions/ratios for this:

20:16 is the usual proportion, and x:8 is this week's dose. The ratio from A to B has to be equal, so

20/16 = x/8

Cross-multiply:

(20)(8) = (16)(x)

160 = 16x

divide both sides by 16

x = 10

Please let me know if you have questions about this answer.
