solve the following: \\(\frac{15}{16} \div \frac{12}{8} = \frac{x}{y}\\)
solve for x=

solve for y=

Explanation:

Question 21

Step1: Identify total mg and per capsule mg

Total daily mg = 2400, per capsule mg = 600.

Step2: Divide total by per capsule

Number of capsules = $\frac{2400}{600}$ = 4.

Step1: Find capsules per day

3 capsules per dose, 4 doses: 3×4 = 12 capsules.

Step2: Multiply by mcg per capsule

12×100 = 1200 mcg.

Step1: Simplify division

$\frac{15}{16} \div \frac{12}{8} = \frac{15}{16} \times \frac{8}{12}$ = $\frac{15×8}{16×12}$ = $\frac{120}{192}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$ (simplified). So if it's $\frac{x}{y}$, x=5, y=8.

Step2: Confirm simplification

Divide numerator and denominator by 24: 120÷24=5, 192÷24=8.

Answer:

4
