Answer:

Given dose (i.e 600 mg) lies outside the recommended range of  271.8-543.6 mg/day that too on the higher side

Hence, the prescription is not safe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of medicine given per interval = 150 mg

time interval = 6 hours

thus, number of intervals per day = \frac{\textup{24}}{\textup{6}} = 4

therefore,

the total dose of medicine provided per day = 4 × 150 = 600 mg

Now,

Recommended dosage =  20-40 mg/kg/day

weight of child = 30 lb

also,

1 lb = 0.453 kg

thus,

weight of child = 30 × 0.453 = 13.59 kg

Therefore, the recommended dose for the child

=  (  20-40 mg/kg/day ) × 13.59

= 271.8-543.6 mg/day

now,

the given dose (i.e 600 mg) lies outside the recommended range of  271.8-543.6 mg/day that too on the higher side

Hence, the prescription is not safe.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

72pi cubic inches

1/3 pi r ^2 * h = 72 pi

1/3 r^2 h = 72

You can theoretically find infinite answers to this and get enough points for the semester where you don't have to do work anymore. I will list a couple more possible answers below

r = radius, h = height

r = 2, h = 54

r = 3, h = 24

r = 4, h = 27/2

r = √(1/pi), h = 72pi

Solve using long division.
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Quotient is 3x-5 and remainder is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dividend = 3x^2+7x-20

Divisor = x+4

The long division is shown in the attachment.

Step 1: we need to divide 3x^2+7x-20 with x+4 we first multiply x+4 with 3x we get the remainder as -5x-20

Quotient as 3x.

Step 2: Now the dividend is -5x-20 and divisor x+4 now we will multiply x+4 with -5 we get the remainder as 0 and Quotient as 3x-5

Hence Quotient is 3x-5 and remainder is 0.
