Answer:

<u>Approximately 16 tablets of medicine</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information above , we can use a <u>Rule of Three</u> to first figure out how many mg the cat would need to ingest per day.

\frac{5mg}{1kg} = \frac{x}{4.5kg}

\frac{5mg*4.5kg}{1kg} = 22.5mg

Now we see that the cat needs to take a daily dose of 22.5mg. Since the Tablets come at a strength of 10 mg per tablet then,

22.5 / 10 = 2.25

The cat would need to take 2.25 tablets per day. Since she needs to take the dose for the next 7 days then,

2.25 * 7 = 15.75

She would need to take<u> approximately 16 tablets of medicine</u> during the week .

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

LAST QUESTION ON MY TOPIC!!! PLEASE

Givens

<em><u>Slower car</u></em>

r = r

t = 12 hours

d = ?

<em><u>Faster car</u></em>

r = r + 20

t = 8 hours

d = ?

It doesn't matter what the exact distance is. You just have to know that the 2 distances are equal ie going to the mountains from his home is the same distance as going from the mountains to his home.

d = r * t

r * 12 hours = (r + 20)* 8 hours.   Remove the brackets on the right

r*12 = 8r + 20*8

r*12 = 8*r + 160

r*12 - 8r = 8r - 8r + 160

4r = 160

r = 40 miles / hour

=================

Slower Ride determines the distance.

d = r*t

d = 40 * 12

d = 480

Check

Use the faster rate (r + 20) = 40 + 20 = 60 mph

60 * 8 = 480. Both distances work out to be the same.

The answer is 38,400

The scale is 1:40 so the side that is 4 in becomes 160 and the side that is 6 in becomes 240
Multiply 160 and 240 and that is the area of the room

Hope this helps
