Dr. Stevens mixed 10.357 grams of chemical A, 12.062 grams of chemical B, and 7.506 grams of chemical C to make 5 doses of medicine. a. About how much medicine in grams? Estimate the amount of each by rounding to the nearest tenth of a gram before finding the sum. Show your thinking. b. Find the exact amount of medicine mixed by Dr. Stevens. c. What is the difference between the exact amount and the estimated amount of medicine? d. How many grams are in one dose of medicine? Explain your strategy for solving.

A. 29.93 grams

B. 29.925 grams

C. 0.005 grams

D. 5.985 grams per dose

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical A = 10.357 grams

Chemical B = 12.062 grams

Chemical C = 7.506 grams

Number of doses of drugs = 5

A. About how much medicine in grams

Round each chemical to the nearest tenth

Chemical A = 10.36 grams

Chemical B = 12.06 grams

Chemical C = 7.51 grams

Total medicine in grams = chemical A + chemical B + chemical C

= 10.36 + 12.06 + 7.51

= 29.93 grams

B. Find the exact amount of medicine mixed by Dr. Stevens.

Total medicine in grams = chemical A + chemical B + chemical C

= 10.357 + 12.062 + 7.506

= 29.925 grams

C. What is the difference between the exact amount and the estimated amount of medicine

Difference = Estimated amount - Exact amount

= 29.93 grams - 29.925 grams

= 0.005 grams

D. How many grams are in one dose of medicine?

Grams in a dose = exact amount of chemicals / 5 doses

= 29.925 grams / 5

= 5.985 grams per dose

Approximately 5.99 grams per dose

yes because there is exactly one y value for every x value

for function there can't be more than one value for every x value
