Question

A person weighs 150 pounds and the correct dosage of a drug is given as 1.50 \mg per kilogram of body weight. How many milligrams of the drug should be given?

Answer 1

The value is
`x=  102.27 \  mg`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the person is
`w =  150 \ lb =  (150)/(2.2)  =  68.2 \  kg`

The dosage of the drug is
`d =  1.50 \  mg/kg`

Given that

`1.50 \  mg  \to 1 \  kg \\\\x \  mg  \to  68.2 \  kg`

=>
`x =  (1.5 * 68.2)/(1)`

=>
`x=  102.27 \  mg`
