The recommended dosage of the drug amipicillin for pediatric patients is 200mg per kilogram of patients weight. If Imani weighs 76lb how much amipicillin should she receive?

Answer 1

To convert pounds to kilograms, we divide by 2.205.

76 lb ÷ 2.205 lb/kg = 34.49 kg

Therefore, Imani should receive:

200 mg/kg x 34.49 kg = 6,898 mg

Or, rounded to the nearest hundredth:

6,900 mg
