Answer:

Yes, the doctor's order within the desired range

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dosage of Rocephin ordered = 200 mg

Mass of the infant = 15.4 lb

1 lb = 0.453592 kg

thus,

15.4 lb = 0.453  × 15.4 = 6.97 kg

Dosage is provided every 8 hours

thus,

Number of dosage per day = \frac{\textup{24 hours}}{\textup{8}} = 3

Hence,

the total dosage ordered per day = 200 × 3 = 600 mg

Dosage ordered per kg of infant per day = \frac{\textup{600}}{\textup{6.97}}

or

Dosage ordered per kg of infant per day = 86.083 mg/kg per day

Yes, the doctor's order within the desired range

|a|-3/4=-5/8 Solve and show your work?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

{-1/8, 1/8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve |a|-3/4=-5/8 for |a|:  Add 3/4 to both sides of this equation, obtaining:

|a| - 6/8 + 6/8 = -5/8 + 6/8, or |a| = 1/8.  This absolute value function has two components:

a = 1/8 and a = -1/8.

Let X be the number of households. 

so they sent the promotional material to 21% which means 0.21X number of households get the material. 

out of the 0.21x households only 0.14 respond which is 

0.14(0.21x) = 0.0294x or 2.94%
