To be able to determine what is 1/3 of the adult dose, we will be using the following formula:


\text{ }(1)/(3)\text{ of Adult dose = }(1)/(3)\text{ x 180 mg}
\text{ }(1)/(3)\text{ of Adult dose = }(180)/(3)\text{ mg}
\text{ }(1)/(3)\text{ of Adult dose = }60\text{ mg}

Therefore, 1/3 of the adult dose is 60 mg.
