A certain medicine is given in an amount proportional to a patients body weight. Suppose a person weighted 104 pounds requires 156 milligrams of medicine. What is the weight of a patient who requires 207 milligrams of medicine?

138 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A certain medicine is given in an amount proportional to a patients body weight.

thus,

ratio will be

amount of medicine: weight of patient

Given

Suppose a person weighted 104 pounds requires 156 milligrams of medicine.

amount of medicine = 156 milligram

weight of patient = 104 pound

Thus, ratio will be = 156/104

What is the weight of a patient who requires 207 milligrams of medicine

Let the weight of weight of patient here be x

thus, ratio in this case will be

207/x

we also know in ratio and proportion that

if two ratio a:b and c:d are equal then a:c = c:d

here also the ratio will be same

Thus,

156/104 = 207/x

=> 156x = 207*104 = 21,528

=> x = 21,528/156 = 138

Thus, weight of patient is 138 pound.

i think it is everything has to equal 180 so, if i correct 4=c. 6=d. 8=a. 7=b. and the last question would be c. because they are parallel lines and they are congruent.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason everything has to equal to 180 is because that is how it works. i'm guessing that is its rule. 4 and 8 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 6 and 7 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 60+60 is 180. so, now you have your answer
