Answer:

Jenny has 4 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Jenny has pencils = x

Arthur has pencils = 5x+6 (Arthur has 6 more than 5 times the number of pencils as Jenny. )

Total pencils = 30

We need to find how many pencils does Jenny have.

We basically can write the equation:

Total pencils = Jenny pencils + Arthur pencils

Putting values and solving to find value of x:

30=x+5x+6\\30=6x+6\\30-6=6x\\24=6x\\=> 6x=24\\x=\frac{24}{6}\\x=4

So, we have value of x = 4

Now, finding number of Jenny pencils:

Jenny has pencils = x = 4

Therefore, Jenny has 4 pencils.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

  1.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The abbreviation mcg stands for "microgram," or 10^-6 grams. The abbreviation mg stands for "milligram," or 10^-3 grams. The relationship between these is ...

  1 mg = 1000 mcg

<h3>Dose</h3>

The order for 6000 mcg is an order for 6(1000 mcg) = 6(1 mg) = 6 mg. At 4 mg/mL, the quantity of dexamethasone required is ...

  (6 mg)/(4 mg/mL) = (6/4) mL = 1.5 mL

The nurse will give 1.5 milliliters of dexamethasone.
