Children's chewable tylenol contains 80 mg of acetaminophen per tablet. if the recommended dosage is 10 mg/kg, how many tablets are needed for a 32−lb child?

32 lb is 14.6 (rounded) kg so if its 10mg per kg the it would be 146.
80+80 is 160 so i guess it would be 1 1/2 or 2.
not positive but thats what i think it would be, hope it helps.
