Answer:

  182 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the proportion for the required patient weight (w) as ...

  weight/medicine = w/(174.72 mg) = (150 lb)/(144 mg)

  w = (150 lb)(174.72/144) . . . . . multiply by 174.72 mg

  w ≈ 182 lb

The patient's weight is 182 pounds.

A, B, and C are either all 1 or two is negative and one is positive, either way the number is 1 and it's opposite. 1^2 is 1, 1^3 is 1, 1^4 is 1. The product is 1. -1^2 is -1, -1^3 is -1, -1^4 is -1. The product is -1. Now the difference. 1 - (-1), which is 1 + 1, the answer is [D) 2]
