A doctor may prescribe Keflex for an ear infection. One capsule = 0.250 g of Keflex. The recommended daily dose for a child is (40.0mg of Keflex)/(kg that the child weighs). How many Keflex capsules would a 69-pound child take for one daily dose? (Round to the nearest whole number of capsules) Given: 1 pound = 0.453592 kg

5 capsules

Step-by-step explanation:

A doctor may prescribe Keflex for an ear infection. One capsule = 0.250 g of Keflex. The recommended daily dose for a child is (40.0mg of Keflex)/(kg that the child weighs).

Step 1

We convert the capsules form grams to milligrams

1 gram = 1000 milligrams

0.250grams = x

Cross Multiply

x = 0.250 × 1000 milligrams

x = 250 mg

Hence, 1 capsule = 250 mg

How many Keflex capsules would a 69-pound child take for one daily dose? (Round to the nearest whole number of capsules) Given: 1 pound = 0.453592 kg

The recommended daily dose for a child is (40.0mg of Keflex)/(kg that the child weighs).

The child weighs 69 pounds

1 pound = 0.453592 kg

69 pounds = x kg

Cross Multiply

x kg = 69 × 0.453592kg

x kg = 31.297848kg

Hence,

1 kg= 40.0 mg

31.297848 kg = x

x = 31.297848 × 40.0mg

x = 1251.91392mg

Therefore, the child would take 1251.91392 mg

From the first calculation we know that:

1 capsule = 250 mg

250mg = 1 capsule

1251.91392 mg = x capsules

250mg × x = 1251.91392 mg × 1 capsule

x = 1251.91392 mg/250mg

x = 5.00765568 capsules

Approximately = 5 capsules

Hence, a child that weighs 69 pounds takes 5 capsules of keflex

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
