Answer:

985.15mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours

First step is to calculate the weight in kg

255 lbs = 255/2.2 = 115.9 kg

Second step is multiply mg/kg in order to get total medicine per day

Dose per day=115.9kg × 17 mg

Dose per day= 1,970.3

Third step is to calculate how many milligrams of the drug should he receive by dividing the day dose by 2

Dose milligrams=1,970.3/2

Dose milligrams=985.15mg

Therefore how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours will be 985.15mg

Find the value of x in a triangle with one side 11 and 1 angle being 28​
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

C: 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides x and 11 could be defined as the Adjacent angle and the Hypotenuse. This means that we will use the cos function to solve this.

First we can set up our equation

cos28=\frac{11}{x}

Next we can solve for x by multiplying by x and dividing by cos 28

x=\frac{11}{cos28}\\\\x=12.458\\\\x=12.5

kozerog [31]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean and Greg share a 24-ounce bucket of clay

Sean uses 3/8 of the bucket

= 3/8 ×24

= 9 ounce

Greg uses 1/4 if the bucket

= 1/4 ×24

= 6 ounce

= 9+6

= 15 ounce

Therefore the quantity left in the bucket can be calculated as follows

= 24-15

= 9

Hence 9 ounces are left in the bucket
