Answer:
the mid point of the segment will be (1,3)
18 boys represents the boys
The correct answer is 16737 mg
Explanation:
The first step to solve this problem is to convert the weight to kilograms because the dosage of the antibiotic is given in milligrams per kilo. This can be done by multiplying the pounds by 0.453 considering each pound is equal to 0.453 kilos. The process is shown below:
123 lb x 0.453 = 55.791 kg
Now, simply multiply the kilos by the recommended dose:
55.791 kg x 300 mg/kg = 16737 mg
Also, this can be converted to grams by dividing the number into 1000 (1000 mg = 1 g)
16737mg ÷ 1000 = 16.737 grames
You are asked to find the team score, so it is convenient to let a variable represent that value. Let's call it "s", for "score". The problem statement tells you
.. Michaela scored s/5 . . . . . one fifth of the team's points
.. Aleah scored s/10 . . . . . . . one tenth o the team's points
These scores together are (s/5 +s/10) and that amount is 42 points.
.. s/5 +s/10 = 42
.. s(2/10 +1/10) = 42 . . . . . factor out s
.. s(3/10) = 42 . . . . . . . . . . form the sum of the numbers in parentheses
.. s = 42*10/3 = 140 . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of s
The team scored 140 points.
______
Michaela scored 140/5 = 28 points; Aleah scored 140/10 = 14 points.
