Answer:

the trainee calculated the incorrect amount

It should be 0.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The physician orders penicillin 500,000 units for a patient while the concentration of the drug you have is 1,000,000 units/ 1mL. It's clear that 1mL drug is too much for the patient since 1,000,000 units are higher than 500,000 units.

The amount of penicillin in 1.5 mL will be definitely higher than 1,000,000 units, so it must be a lot higher than the physician's orders. We can roughly guess that the trainee draws an incorrect amount.

To calculate the exact volume you need, you have to divide the amount of the drug you need with the concentration of the drug. The calculation will be:

the volume needed = amount of the drug you need/ concentration of the drug

volume needed = 500,000 units / (1,000,000 units/ 1mL)= 1/2 mL = 0.5 mL

Thomas brings over 1/2 of his marble collection. He divides these marbles equally among 3 friends. What fraction of Thomas's ent

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Each of the three friends will get one-sixth of the Thomas's enitre marble collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of the total marble collection brought by Thomas = $\frac{1}{2}$

Now, Thomas divides these marbles equally among his three friends. So, each of the three friends will get one-third of the total marble collection brought by Thomas.

Fraction of total marble collection got by each friend = $\frac{1}{3} \;of\;fraction\;of\;total\;marble\;collection\;brought\;by\;Thomas$

= $\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{6}$

∴ Each of the three friends of Thomas will get one-sixth of his entire collection of marbles.

i dont understand equations of parallel and perpendicular lines here's one of my teachers examples y=2x+4 (-2,1)

SIZIF [17.4K]

Parallel lines will never touch each other while perpendicular forms like an X shape. The slope for the parallel is the same while the perpendicular is a negative reciprocal. (Ex for negative reciprocal. 2/4=4/2)

The perimeter of a rectangular metal plate is 15 cm. Find the length of the rectangular plate (in decimals) whose width is 228 c

scoray [572]

The Solution.

Representing the problem in a diagram, we have

By formula,

$P=2(L+W)$

In this case,

$P=15\operatorname{cm},L=?,W=\frac{22}{8}cm$

Substituting these values in the formula above, we get

$15=2(L+\frac{22}{8})$

Clearing the bracket, we get

$15=2L+(2\times\frac{22}{8})$ $\begin{gathered} 15=2L+\frac{11}{2} \\ \\ 15=2L+5.5 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} 15-5.5=2L \\ 9.5=2L \end{gathered}$

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

$L=\frac{9.5}{2}=4.75\approx4.8\operatorname{cm}$

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
