2200 mg of antibiotic
Explanation:
Given that 40 mg of antibiotic/kg of the bodyweight is given.
If patient is 55 kg then the dose of antibiotic will be
if 40/1000000 is done then we can get antibiotic in kg/kg of the weight
= 0.00004 kg of antibiotic per kg
0.00004*55 ( to know how much 55 kg person will require)
= 0.0022 kg
This 0.0022 value will be converted to mg
0.0022*10^6
= 2200 mg of antibiotic will be given to a 55kg patient.
