Step-by-step explanation:
you add up the hours of each of the girls so, 3(1/2)+4(1/3)+2
Answer:
x + 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
X is the variable in this case, or 'a number.' This number x is added to the product of 5 and the number, or 5x. Therefore the expression is x+5x. It can also be simplified to 6x.
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
We can write the following proportion between the milligram and milliliters:
Solving for x, we have
Intuitively, the original 1000mg/250ml solution tells us that the number of milliliters is one fourth of the number of milligrams.
So, if we want 700mg, we have one fourth of this value for the milliliters:
