Answer:

29 approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to estimate 35% of 84. 35% is roughly equivalent to 1/3, so multiply 84 by 1/3 (or, equivalently, divide 84 by 3), obtaining 28. Use a calculator to find 0.35(84): 29.4. This 28 is a fairly good estimate of 35% of 84 which is 29.4.

prescription for marilyn jones piroxicam 20 mg capsule take 1 capsule 2 times a day how many milligrams mg will marilyn take of

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{3600 mg}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the number of capsules

Marilyn takes 2 capsules per day

$\text{No. of capsules} = \text{90 days} \times \dfrac{\text{2 capsules}}{\text{1 day}} = \text{ 180 capsules}$

Step 2. Convert capsules to milligrams

There are 20 mg in each capsule.

$\text{No. of milligrams} = \text{180 capsules} \times \dfrac{\text{20 mg}}{\text{1 capsule}} = \textbf{3600 mg}\\\\\text{Marilyn will take } \boxed{\textbf{3600 mg}} \text{ of Pirixocam}$

Suppose an ant walks counterclockwise on the unit circle from the point to the endpoint of the radius that forms an angle of rad

serg [7]

Answer:

$\frac{4\pi}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The original questions is suppose an ant walks counterclockwise on a unit circle from the point (1,0) to the endpoint of the radius that forms an angle of 240 degrees with the positive horizontal axis.

To find the distance ant walked we find the arc length of the sector with central angle 240 degree and radius =1 (unit circle)

arc length of a sector = $\frac{centralangle}{360} \cdot 2\pi r$
