To calculate the number of milliliters (ml) of Kefexin oral suspension that Nora should be given for a single dose, you can follow these steps: Determine the total daily dose for Nora: Nora's weight is 14 kg, and she has been prescribed a dose of 50 mg/kg/day. So, the total daily dose for Nora is: Total Daily Dose = Weight (kg) × Dose (mg/kg/day) Total Daily Dose = 14 kg × 50 mg/kg/day Total Daily Dose = 700 mg/day Since she is to be given the total daily dose divided into two single doses, you need to calculate the dose for a single administration: Dose per Single Administration = Total Daily Dose / Number of Doses per Day Dose per Single Administration = 700 mg / 2 Dose per Single Administration = 350 mg Now, you need to convert the dose from milligrams (mg) to milliliters (ml) using the concentration of the oral suspension, which is 100 mg/ml: Dose in Milliliters = Dose in Milligrams / Concentration (mg/ml) Dose in Milliliters = 350 mg / 100 mg/ml Dose in Milliliters = 3.5 ml So, Nora should be given 3.5 milliliters of Kefexin oral suspension for each single dose.

Nice's central library building is considered one of the most original in the world, as it is a mix between a sculpture and a work of habitable architecture. It was called La Tête Carrée and is made up of part of a bust that supports a cube divided into five floors. It is known that the building has a total height of approximately 30 meters. It admits that the cubic part of the sculpture is parallel to the floor and has a volume of 2744 meters3 Calculate, in meters, the height of the bust that supports the cube.

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is considered the main infectious disease in Brazilian equine farming, for which there is no effective vaccine or treatment. It is caused by a retrovirus of the genus Lentivirus, which affects horses, donkeys and mules and is transmitted in nature mainly by hematophagous insects of the genus Tabanidae. Researchers analyzed the records of 9,439 equids from Acre, submitted to the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID) for equine infectious anemia (EIA), between 1986 and 1996. Of these, 6199 tested positive for equine infectious anemia (EIA) . Knowing that the age of AIE-positive horses follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 5 years and a standard deviation of 1.5 years, determine the expected number of AIE-positive horses in the Acre sample that will be aged less than or equal to 3 years. ATTENTION: Provide the answer to exactly FOUR decimal places.
