What is a​ budget? What is cash​ flow? Describe the​ four-step process of figuring out your monthly budget.

The fact that 1 liter=1.057 quarts can be expressed as the following conversion factor.

The guidelines for prescribing a particular drug specify a dose of 300 mg per kilogram of body weight per day. How should you find how much of the drug should be given to a​ 30-kg child every 8​ hours?

Multiply 300​ mg/kg/day by 30 kg and divide that result by​ 3, since multiplying will cancel the kg units and dividing by 3 since there are three 8 hour intervals in a day.

What is the difference between simple interest and compound​ interest? Why do you end up with more money with compound​ interest?

Simple interest is interest paid only on the original investment whereas compound interest is interest paid both on the original investment and on all interest that has been added to the original investment. Since compound interest is calculated based on a larger amount than simple​ interest, it results in a larger amount of money over time.
