A medicine is prescribed at 1⁄2 teaspoon for every 35 pounds of body weight. If a person weighed 175 pounds, how much medicine should they take?

Solution:

Given that,

A medicine is prescribed at 1/2 teaspoon for every 35 pounds of body weight

Therefore,

We have to find the medicine needed for a 175 pounds person

Let "x" be the teaspoon needed for 175 pound person

Therefore,

This forms a proportion and solve by cross multiplying

Thus, 2.5 tea spoon of medicine needed for 175 pound person

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.

step-by-step explanation:

the table of x and y values is shown in the attached pic(part of question)

we have to decide according that graph

given points are (0, 0) (–1, 0), (2, 0)

when we graph these points on graph they show an increasing line as shown in the attached pic
