Question

the recommended dosage of a drug for pediatric patients is 200 mg per kilogram of a patients weight if janine weights 76lb how much of the drug should she get

Answer 1

Alright, so we're going to be taking 200mg/kg and 76lbs as 2 starting points, and multiplying it by 1  (numbers where the numerator and denominator equal each other) , resulting in$\frac{200mg}{1kg} * \frac{1kg}{2.20462lbs} * 76lbs= 6531.74 mg$ . The 1kg in the second number is on the top to cancel out the kg from before
