Answer:

A. 29.93 grams

B. 29.925 grams

C. 0.005 grams

D. 5.985 grams per dose

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical A = 10.357 grams

Chemical B = 12.062 grams

Chemical C = 7.506 grams

Number of doses of drugs = 5

A. About how much medicine in grams

Round each chemical to the nearest tenth

Chemical A = 10.36 grams

Chemical B = 12.06 grams

Chemical C = 7.51 grams

Total medicine in grams = chemical A + chemical B + chemical C

= 10.36 + 12.06 + 7.51

= 29.93 grams

B. Find the exact amount of medicine mixed by Dr. Stevens.

Total medicine in grams = chemical A + chemical B + chemical C

= 10.357 + 12.062 + 7.506

= 29.925 grams

C. What is the difference between the exact amount and the estimated amount of medicine

Difference = Estimated amount - Exact amount

= 29.93 grams - 29.925 grams

= 0.005 grams

D. How many grams are in one dose of medicine?

Grams in a dose = exact amount of chemicals / 5 doses

= 29.925 grams / 5

= 5.985 grams per dose

Approximately 5.99 grams per dose

How to convert a repeating decimal to a fraction when only 1 digit is repeating?

Alecsey [184]

Example 0.777777

x = 0.77
10(x = 0.77) ----(10 because it is repeating by the tenth digit. if repeating by 2 digits like 0.2828, you'll multiply by 100)

10x = 7.77
-(x = 0.77)
9x = 7.00
x = 7/9

What are the diameters of the painting?<br> Easy!!!

zalisa [80]

x = 10.22 in

Solution:

Width of the figure = x in

Length of the figure = (2x + 5) in

Area of the figure = 260 in²

<u>To find the value of x:</u>

<em>Area of the figure = length × width</em>

length × width = 260

(2x + 5) × x = 260

$2x^2+5x=260$

Subtract 260 from both sides of the equation.

$2x^2+5x-260=0$

Factor the above quadratic expression.

Quadratic equation formula:

$$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

$$x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^{2}-4 \cdot 2(-260)}}{2 \cdot 2}$

$$x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{2105}}{4}$

$$x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{2105}}{4}, \ x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{2105}}{4}$

x = 10.22, x = –12.72006

Dimension of the figure cannot be measured in negative terms.

Hence x = 10.22 in.
