Question

A certain drug doseage calls for 460mg per kg per day and is divided into four doses(1 every 6 hours). If a person weighs 229 pounds, how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 6 hours?

Answer 1

11943.31 mg

Explanation:

460mg a day per kilo of weight, 4 doses for that total amount

460/4=115mg per kilo per dose

1 kilo = 2.205 pounds

115/2.205=52.15 approx mg per pound per dose

52.15*229=11943.31 approx, which is how much per dose
