Answer:

$QS=68\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

r is the midpoint of qs

QR=RS

QS=QR+RS------> QS=2RS -----> equation A

RT=RS+ST ----> equation B

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Substitute the given values in the equation B and solve for x

$8x-43=(2x-4)+(4x-1)$

$8x-43=6x-5$

$8x-6x=43-5$

$2x=38$

$x=19$

step 2

Find the value of RS

$RS=2x-4$

substitute the value of x

$RS=2(19)-4$

$RS=34\ units$

step 3

Find the value of QS

Remember equation A

QS=2RS

$QS=2(34)=68\ units$

If an intravenous solution containing 123 mg of a drug substance in each 250-mL bottle is to be administered at the rate of 200

12345 [234]

Answer:

24.39mL of the solution would be given per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by direct rule of three, in which there are a direct relationship between the measures, which means that the rule of three is a cross multiplication.

The first step to solve this problem is to see how many mg of the solution is administered per hour.

Each minute, 200 ug are administered. 1mg has 1000ug, so

1mg - 1000 ug

xmg - 200 ug

$1000x = 200$

$x = \frac{200}{1000}$

$x = 0.2mg$

In each minute, 0.2 mg are administered. Each hour has 60 minutes. How many mg are administered in 60 minutes?

1 minute - 0.2 mg

60 minutes - x mg

$x = 60*0.2$

$x = 12mg$

In an hour, 12 mg of the drug is administered. In 250 mL, there is 123 mg of the drug. How many ml are there in 12 mg of the drug.

123mg - 250mL

12 mg - xmL

$123x = 250*12$

$x = \frac{250*12}{123}$

$x = 24.39$ mL

24.39mL of the solution would be given per hour.

dangina [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure that you will have to add it.

so, when we add two fractions such as 3/4 + 3/4, we make sure that the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same and then we simply add the numerators (the top numbers).

in this problem, the denominators are the same so we will simply add 3+3 which equals to 6/4. the denominator will remain the same.

<em>answer:</em>

3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4

<u>i hope this is helpful. </u>
