Answer:

The age difference between the oldest and the youngest is 48.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

The ratio of the ages of Kisii (K) and Esinam (E) is 3:5.

The ratio of the ages of Esinam (E) and Larry (L) is 3:5.

The sum of the ages of all three is 147.

Since the age of Esinam is common in both ratios, we find the lowest common multiple (LCM);

LCM of 3,5 = 15.

Hence, the ratio of the three ages is now;

K:E:L = 9:15:25

Let their ages be denoted by x;

K:E:L = 9x:15x:25x

The sum of all three ages is;

9x + 15x + 25x = 147

49x = 147

x = 147/49

x = 3.

To find the age difference between the oldest and the youngest;

The oldest is Esinam = 25x

The youngest is Kisii = 9x

Therefore, 25x - 9x = 16x

Substituting the value of x, we have;

x = 3; 16x = 16(3) = 48.

The age difference between the oldest and the youngest is 48.

Autopsy conducted on an individual who had died of pneumonia revealed bluish-green pus filling the lung. The causative agent of
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The agent causing the pneumonia, where bluish-green pus was found, is most likely Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Explanation:

Pseudomona aeuriginosa is a gram-negative bacteria that is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, including pneumonias in mechanically ventilated patients.

One of the characteristics of P. aeuriginosa is the formation of a bluish-green pus, since it has the capacity to form cyanide-based blue pigment upon contact with the organic tissues it infects. This is the reason why previously P. aeruginosa was called a pyocyanic bacillus.

<em>     The other options are not correct because the only bacterium that produces blue-green pus is P. aeruginosa.</em>

Changes in the red non-coding sequences are also seen in sequences 1, 2, and 4. While these changes may not lead to a faulty protein, they may alter the way it is expressed or the effect it has. (Your question does not seem to be concerned with these changes.)
