Question

For a medication to work properly, the person taking the medication needs to take 1/2 oz. of this medication for every 40 lbs. per day. of body weight. How much medication should a person that weighs 180 lbs. take per day?

(i need a step-by-step answer)

Answer 1

180 divided by 40 gives 4.5

Convert 4.5 to a fraction and get 9/2

1/2 x 9/2 = 5

So 5 oz per day
