Answer:

  $93.33 per dose

Step-by-step explanation:

 $1.4×10⁶/(7.5 kg) × (1 kg)/(1000 g) × (0.5 g)/(1 dose)

  = (1.4×10⁶×0.5)/(7.5×10³) $/dose = 700/7.5 $/dose ≈ $93.33/dose

__

Converting dollars per kilogram to dollars per dose involves units conversion from kilograms to doses. We have done it in two steps, first to grams, then to doses.

THROUGH (-1,-2) PARALLEL TO Y +7/6X+1
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

If a line is parallel to another line, the slopes of both lines are the same. So far the equation would be, y=7/6x+b. To find the value of b, you substitute the given point into the equation. -2=7/6(-1)+b, -2=-7/6+b, b=-5/6. So the equation of the line is y=7/6x-5/6.

Which of the following represents x =1/3y written in general form?
Serhud [2]

If you would like to write x = 1/3 * y in general form, you can do this using the following steps:

The general form of the equation is: ax + by + c = 0.

x = 1/3 * y

x - 1/3 * y = 0


The correct result would be x - 1/3 * y = 0.
