Question

Please help me with this word problem...

A hospital has available Actinomicina for children 2 mg/kg. A nurse must give this medication to an infant that weighs 16 lbs. and 10 oz. How many mg must the nurse give (single dose)? Round to the nearest hundredth. (1 lb = 0.45 kg) and 1 lb = 16 oz)

Answer 1

10/16= 0.625, 16+0.625= 16.625

16.625*0.45=7.481kg =7481mg
