Question

A person weighs 120 lb. What is the daily dosage, in milligrams, of a prescribed medication for this person if the recommended dosage is 10.0 mg per kilogram of body weight per day rounded to one decimal place? (1 lb = 454 g)

Answer 1

Answer: ≈ 13620g³m

Step-by-step explanation:

A = m d

1Lb = 454g

1000g = 1kg

m = 120Lb × 454/1Lb ×1kg/1000g ≈ 1362Lb/25g kg

m = 10.0 mg / kg

A = m d

(1362kg) ( 10.0 mg/kg)

≈ 13620g³m
