Answer:

The total blood given is 5.5 liters

Thus, total alcohol needed for BAC (blood alcohol content) to exceed 0.1 gram per 100 ml will be 0.1/100 × 5500 = 5.5 grams alcohol.

1 oz = 28.3 grams

28.3 gram water = 28.3 ml

It has 20 percent alcohol by volume,

Therefore, alcohol in one drink will be:

20/100 × 28.3

= 5.66 ml

= 5.66 × 0.79 (density of ethanol)

= 4.47 gram

Thus, no of drinks will be 5.5 g / 4.47 g = 1.2

Hence, 1.2 drinks will make the BAC to exceed 0.1 g / 100 ml in the blood.

It is proper to put away cups and knives after towel dry true or false
Studentka2010 [4]

The given statement saying it is proper to put away the knives and the cups in  the drawers after towel drying them is false. Towel drying them will make them susceptible to the bacteria. It is better that the utensils should be air-dried. The towel may contain a lot of the microorganisms. They cling to the moist and get transferred to the utensils when the towel is used to dry those dishes.

Hence, the answer is 'false'.

Unlike adults, infants alternate between short waking periods and short naps. what can we infer about their neurotransmitters?
just olya [345]

During the first one to two months of life, infants are incapable of deep sleep (they do not have trouble falling asleep but they do not generally stay asleep for very long stretches). This happens because infants can’t make the difference between night and day - they do not yet have a circadian rhythm. Around six weeks, the hormone melatonin is produced (pineal gland) and it helps establish a normal sleep-wake cycle.
