Answer:

3.5 Grams

Step-by-step

set 2grams/60lbs equal to xgrams/105

x representing the amount of medicine needed for a 105lb child

Then you divide 60 by 105.

60/105=1.75

Now you multiply 2 by 1.75.

2 x 1.75 = 3.5

3.5 is your answer because 105 is 1.75 times more lbs than 60lbs

meaning you would need 1.75 times the amount of 2grams

to determine the value of x, which is 3.5grams

Which of the following options have the same value as 30\%30%30, percent of 818181?

Answer:

Option B is correct = $0.3 \times 81$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is: Which of the following options have the same value as 30% of 81?

Group of choices is:

(A) $\frac{30}{100}\times 81 \times 100$

(B) $0.3 \times 81$

(D) $\frac{3}{10}\times 81 \times 10$

(E) $30 \times 81$

Now, the expression given to us is 30% of 81.

Simplifying the above expression we get;

30% of 81 = $\frac{30}{100} \times 81$

= $\frac{3}{10} \times 81$ = $0.3 \times 81$

Now, we will solve each of the given options and then see which option matches with our calculation.

Option (A) is given;

$\frac{30}{100}\times 81 \times 100$ = $30 \times 81$

This doesn't match with our answer, so this option is not correct.

Option (B) is given;

$0.3 \times 81$

This matches with our answer, so this option is correct.

Option (C) is given;

$0.03 \times 81$

This doesn't match with our answer, so this option is not correct.

Option (D) is given;

$\frac{3}{10}\times 81 \times 10$ = $3 \times 81$

This doesn't match with our answer, so this option is not correct.

Option (E) is given;

$30 \times 81$

This doesn't match with our answer, so this option is not correct.
