Respuesta :

Answer:

The value is  [tex]x=  102.27 \  mg[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  weight of the person is  [tex]w =  150 \ lb =  \frac{150}{2.2}  =  68.2 \  kg[/tex]

  The  dosage of the drug is  [tex]d =  1.50 \  mg/kg[/tex]

Given that  

      [tex]1.50 \  mg  \to 1 \  kg \\\\x \  mg  \to  68.2 \  kg[/tex]

=>  [tex]x =  \frac{1.5 * 68.2}{1}[/tex]

=>   [tex]x=  102.27 \  mg[/tex]
