Benadryl is used to treat itchy skin in dogs. The recommended dosage is 1 mg per pound. What mass of Benadryl, in milligrams, should be given to a dog that weighs 29.5 kg? mass of Benadryl: ___ mg.

Answer 1

65 mg of Benadryl should be given to a dog that weighs 29.5 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

1 pound dog requires = 1 mg of Benadryl

(0.4535 kg/1 pound)(1 pound dog requires) = 1 mg of Benadryl

0.4535 kg pound dog requires = 1 mg of Benadryl

1 kg dog requires = (1/0.4535) mg of Benadryl

29.5 kg dog requires = (29.5)(2.2) mg of Benadryl

29.5 kg dog requires = 65 mg of Benadryl
