Answer:

2ml

Step-by-step explanation:

50mg of some potent agent has to be given every 12 hours.

there is a solution that has a concentration of that agent of 125mg/5ml

we need to administer some part of this solution, which we cannot (or should not) change in its structure.

that means the ratio of agent to overall solution stays the same, no matter how much of the solution we administer.

all we need to do is to transit the ratio of 125/5 to represent 50/x (maintaining the said ratio).

in other words, we need to find how many ml we need to administer, so that 50mg of the agent enter the body.

so,

125/5 = 50/x

125x/5 = 50

25x = 50

x = 50/25 = 2

2ml of the solution needs to be administered every 12 hours.

FORMULA

D ( desired dose) x V ( vehicle- tablet or liquid)

H ( dose on hand)

D = Dose ordered

H = dose on hand or dose on container label

V = form and amount in which drug comes ( tablet, capsule, liquid)

D= 50mg H= 125mg V= 5ml

50 x 5

125

250 divided by 125 = 2ml

So, 2ml of elixir is administered every 12 hours :) brainliest pls

Proving That All Circles Are Similar give: cicrcle x with radius r and circile y with radius s prove: circle x is similar to cir
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Two shapes are similar when they have the same shape while their sizes may be the same or different

Therefore, two similar shapes are shapes that have a relationship such that the dimensions of one of the shapes can be obtained from the dimensions of the other shape by multiplying by a scale factor

All circles have the same shape and are defined by their center and radius

Given circle with center at 'x' and radius 'r' and circle with center 'y' and radius 's', then there exist a scale factor a = s/r such that we have;

r × a = s

Where a = s/r, we get;

r × s/r = s

We can therefore, obtain a circle with with the same size as the circle with center 'y' and radius 's' by multiplying the radius of the circle with center at 'x' and radius 'r' by a

Therefore the circle with center at 'x' and radius 'r' is similar to the circle with center 'y' and radius 's'

The interest rate is 3.5%.

EXPLANATION

We substitute the given values into the formula;

A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t

to obtain

6427.35=6000(1+\frac{r}{100})^2

We divide through by 6000 to obtain,

\frac{6427.35}{6000}=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2

This implies that,

1.071225=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2

We take the square root of both sides,

\sqrt{1.071225}=(1+\frac{r}{100})

This gives us,

1.035=(1+\frac{r}{100})

Add -1 to both sides of the equation to obtain

0.035=\frac{r}{100}

Multiply through by 100 to obtain;

r=3.5%

Therefore the rate is 3.5%
