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

Answer:

The value is  $x= 102.27 \ mg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  weight of the person is  $w = 150 \ lb = \frac{150}{2.2} = 68.2 \ kg$

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

Given that  

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

=>  $x = \frac{1.5 * 68.2}{1}$

=>   $x= 102.27 \ mg$
