Answer: The nurse needs 40 minutes to infuse the dose at a 20% faster rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate how much time the nurse needs to infuse the dose, you have to calculate how much is the 20%

The 20% of 50 minutes is obtained multiplying 50 by the factor that represents the 20% which is $\frac{20}{100}$

$(\frac{20}{100})(50)$ = 10 minutes

Now, the time she needs to infuse the dose at a faster rate is obtained as follows:

50 minutes - 10 minutes = 40 minutes.

Notice that you have to subtract the 20% of 50 minutes to the original time to obtain a 20% faster rate.

A=3B
4.35A+5.40B=780.95
Substitute 3B into A for the second equation:
4.35(3B)+5.40B=780.90
13.05B+5.40B=780.90
18.45B=780.90
B=42.33
Plug into equation 1:
A=3B
A=3(42.33)
A=126.98

<span>Angle TSQ measures 68 degrees. When a ray bisects an angle, it divides it into two equal parts. Each part is one-half the measurement of the original angle. Several rays are described as bisecting different angles. I would sketch a diagram to keep track of all the different rays and angles.

A. Since angle RST is bisected by ray SQ, angle RSQ and angle QST are each half the size of angle RST.

B. Since angle RSQ is bisected by ray SP, angle RSP and angle PSQ are each half the size of angle RSQ.

C. Since angle RSP is bisected by ray SV, angle RSV and angle VSP are each half the size of angle RSP. We are given the measurement of angle VSP as 17 degrees. To find the measure of angle RSP, we notice in statement C above that VSP is half the size of angle RSP. If we double angle VSP's measurement (multiply by 2), we get angle RSP measures 34 degrees. Using similar logic and statement B above, we double RSP's measurement of 34 to get angle RSQ's measurement. Double 34 is 68, angle RSQ's measurement in degrees. From statement A above, we notice that RSQ's measurement is equal to that of angle QST's. Therefore, angle QST also measures 68 degrees. However, the question asks us to find the measurement of angle TSQ. However, angle QST and angle TSQ are the same. Either description can be used. Therefore, the measurement of angle TSQ is 68 degrees.</span>

Answer: a. 0.6759 b. 0.3752 c. 0.1480

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The long-distance calls made by the employees of a company are normally distributed with a mean of 6.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.2 minutes

i.e. $\mu = 6.3$ minutes
