Answer:

The correct option is;

D. 6,5

Step-by-step explanation:

TS and TU are midsegments

Segment PR = 18.2

Segment TS = 6.5

Given that TS is the midsegment of PR and PQ, therefore, TS = 1/2×QR

Which gives;

Segment QR = 2×TS = 2 × 6.5 = 13

Segment QR = 13

Given that TU is a midsegment to PQ and QR, we have that QU = UR

Segment QR = QU + UR (segment addition postulate)

Therefore, QR = QU + QU (substitute property of equality)

Which gives;

QR = 2×QU

13 = 2×QU

Segment QU = 13/2 = 6.5

The length of segment QU is 6.5.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Part 1: There are 4.7*10^21 ways to select 40 volunteers in subgroups of 10

Part 2: The research board can be chosen in 32760 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

The number of ways in which we can organized n elements into k groups with size n1, n2,...nk is calculate as:

$\frac{ n!}{ n1!*n2!*...*nk! }$

So, in this case we can form 4 subgroups with 10 participants each one, replacing the values of:

n by 40 participants
k by 4 groups
n1, n2, n3 and n4 by 10 participants of every subgroups

We get:

$\frac{ 40!}{10!*10!*10!*10!} = 4.7*10^{21}$

Part 2:

The number of ways in which we can choose k element for a group of n elements and the order in which they are chose matters is calculate with permutation as:

$nPk = \frac{ n!}{(n-k)!}$

So in this case there are 4 offices in the research board, those are director, assistant director, quality control analyst and correspondent. Additionally this 4 offices are going to choose from a group of 5 doctors.

Therefore, replacing values of:

n by 15 doctors
k by 4 offices

We get:

$\frac{ 15!}{ (15-4)! } = 32760$

Ampicillin 250 mg IM every 12 hours is ordered. After reconstitution, there's 125 mg/mL. How many mL would you give?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Correct choice is C. 2 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ampicillin 250 mg IM every 12 hours is ordered. After reconstitution, there's 125 mg/mL. Now we need to find about how many mL would you give.

Let number of ml needed = x.

Since ratio of mg per mL will be fixed so we get equation:

$\frac{mL}{mg}=\frac{x}{250}=\frac{1}{125}$

$\frac{x}{250}=\frac{1}{125}$

$x=\frac{1}{125} \times 250$

$x=\frac{250}{125}$

$x=2$

Hence correct choice is C. 2 mL.

What is the greatest whole number that will divide both 792 and 990 exactly

Nastasia [14]

Factor the numbers, starting from the smallest:
792=2*3*3*11*4
990=2*3*3*11*5
the greatest whole number that can be divided by both 792 and 990 is 2*3*3*11=198
the smallest whole number that can divide both 792 and 990 exactly is 2*3*3*11*4*5=3960

Not sure which one you are asked to find.
