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

Which of the following is an equation of a proportional relationship?
Alborosie

Answer:

Both are proportional, because as the value of x change (increases or decreases), the value of y changes (increases or decreases).

The first equation (y = 25x) could represent that amount of teachers per students. If x = teachers (let's say there is 1 teacher), then y = students (1 teacher would teach a class of 25 students).

The second equation (y = 5x + 25) could represent the amount of money you could earn babysitting. The starting/base amount would be $25, and you would earn $5 more for every hour you babysat.

Which of these tables represents a linear function?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Table 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For a function to be linear, equal changes in x must correspond to equal changes in y.

In all tables, the x values increase by 1, so all changes in x in all 4 tables are 1.

If a function is linear, then all changes in y must be equal.

Table 1:

5 - 6 = -1

4 - 5 = -1

3 - 4 = -1

All changes in y are equal, so the first table is linear.

Table 2:

4 - 3 = 1

6 - 4 = 2

Two differences in y are different, so table 2 is not linear.

Table 3:

6 - 7 = -1

5 - 6 = -1

3 - 5 = -2

Not all differences in y are equal, so table 3 is not linear.

Table 4:

4 - 2 = 2

5 - 4 = 1

Not all differences in y are equal, so table 3 is not linear.

The only table that has equal differences in y corresponding to equal differences in x is Table 1, so only Table 1 shows a linear function.
