Answer:

Jessica lived 10 months in Spain and 8 months in Colombia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the months Jessica spent in Spain, and y the months she spent in Colombia:

   1. x + y = 18

Using the information of words per month learned in each country, we can also write the equation:

    2. 160 * x + 200 * y = 3200

So now we have a system of <u>two equations and two unknowns</u>.

First we <u>express y in terms of x, in the first equation</u>:

  • x + y = 18
  • y = 18 - x

We <u>replace y in the second equation</u>:

  • 160 * x + 200 * (18 - x) = 3200

And <u>solve for x</u>:

  • 160x + 3600 - 200x = 3200
  • -40 x = -400
  • x = 10

Finally we <u>use that value of x in the first equation and solve for y</u>:

  • 10 + y = 18
  • y = 8

Jessica lived 10 months in Spain and 8 months in Colombia.

How long will it take to administer 1000 cc at a drop factor of 15 drop/ml and a drip rate of 50 drop/min
gayaneshka [121]
First, we are going to determine the number of drops that needs to be administered by dividing the total volume by the volume per drop. Since, 1 cc (cm³) is equal to 1 mL then, 1000 cc is equal to 1000 mL.

   n = (1000 mL)(15 drop/1 mL) = 15000 drops

Then, divide the number of drops by the number of drops per minute.

   N = (15000 drops)/ (50 drop/min) = 300 mins

Answer: 300 mins or 5 hours
