The officers of a high school senior class are planning to rent buses and vans for a class trip. Each bus can transport 81 students, requires 8 chaperones, and costs
$1,300 to rent. Each van can transport 9 students, requires 1 chaperone, and costs $90 to rent. Since there are 972 students in the senior class that may be eligible to
go on the trip, the officers must plan to accommodate at least 972 students. Since only 104 parents have volunteered to serve as chaperones, the officers must plan to
use at most 104 chaperones. How many vehicles of each type should the officers rent in order to minimize the transportation costs? What are the minimal
transportation costs?
The officers should rent
buses and vans to minimize the transportation costs.
The recommended single dose for acetaminophen is 10.0 to 15.0 mg/kg of body weight for adults. Using this guideline, calculate the maximum single dosage for a person who weighs 149 lb.
maximum dosage: ? mg
An infant ibuprofen suspension contains 100 mg per 5.0 mL suspension. The recommended dose is 10 mg of ibuprofen per kg body weight. If, your child weight 46.31 lbs, how many teaspoons (tsp) should you give your child? Note that 1 lb = 453.59 g and 5 mL = 1 tsp.
