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

Prove that the sum of all natural numbers is -1/12.

ankoles [38]

This is not true. The infinite series

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty n$

converges if and only if the sequence of its partial sums converges. The $k$ -th partial sum is

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^kn=\frac{k(k+1)}2$

but clearly this diverges as $k$ gets arbitrarily large.

Ben, Shaneeka, and Phil live on the same street. Ben lives 6/11 mile north of Phil, and 1/3 mile north of Shaneeka. How far does

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Shaneeka live from Phil 7/33 mile far.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ben lives 6/11 mile north of Phil, and 1/3 mile north of Shaneeka.

Now, to get how far does Shaneeka live from Phil.

So, by subtracting the distance from 6/11 mile north where Ben lives from Phil to 1/3 mile north where Ben lives from Shaneeka:

$\frac{6}{11} -\frac{1}{3}$
