As a nurse, part of your daily duties is to mix medications in the proper proportions for your patients. For one of your regular

patients, you always mix Medication A with Medication B in the same proportion. Last week, your patient's doctor indicated that you should mix 20 milligrams of Medication A with 16 milligrams of Medication B. However this week, the doctor said to only use 8 milligrams of Medication B. How many milligrams of Medication A should be mixed this week?

Answer:

10 milligrams of Medication A

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll write proportions/ratios for this:

20:16 is the usual proportion, and x:8 is this week's dose. The ratio from A to B has to be equal, so

20/16 = x/8

Cross-multiply:

(20)(8) = (16)(x)

160 = 16x

divide both sides by 16

x = 10

What is the value of x in the equation 9/10 (x + 2/3)=4 1/2
garri49 [273]
Get the x variable on one side and the numbers another side.

9/10(x + 2/3) = 4 1/2

Distribute the 9/10 across the x and 2/3.

(9/10)x + 18/30 = 4 1/2

Simplify 18/30 to make our life easier.

(9/10)x + 3/5 = 4 1/2

Subtract 3/5 from each side of the equation.

(9/10)x = 3 9/10

Divide both sides by 9/10.

x = 4 1/3

Enter the correct answer in the box. What are the solutions of this quadratic equation?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

x = 3 + 7i   or   x = 3 - 7i; a = 3; b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 6x = -58

We complete the square by adding the square of half of the coefficient of the x-term to both sides.

x^2 - 6x + 9 = -58 + 9

(x - 3)^2 = -49

x - 3 = \pm 7i

x = 3 + 7i   or   x = 3 - 7i

a = 3; b = 7

The circumference of a circle is 25 pi cm . what is the area, in square centimeters? express your answer in terms of pi .
borishaifa [10]

The area of the circle is the amount of space it occupies, and the area of the circle is 156.25π

<h3>How to determine the area?</h3>

The circumference, C is given as:

C = 25π

Start by calculating the radius using:

C = 2πr

So, we have:

2πr = 25π

Solve for r

r = 12.5

The area is then calculated using:

A = πr²

So, we have:

A = π * 12.5²

Evaluate

A = 156.25π

Hence, the area of the circle is 156.25π
