How much ibuprofen for 80 pounds

Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 257 People

It is important to know the appropriate dose of ibuprofen for a child so that you are ready in the case of high fever. The dosing guidelines state that children should be given 8mg/kg. Determine the dose of ibuprofen needed for a 2 ½ year old weighing 28 pounds. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number and make sure to state your units to earn full credit! (Recall: 1 kg = 2.2 lb)

Answer:

102 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert 28 pounds to kgs.

Since 1 kg = 2.2 pounds, we can find:

\frac{1Kg}{2.2Pounds}=\frac{xKg}{28Pounds}\\1*28=2.2x\\28=2.2x\\x=\frac{28}{2.2}\\x=12.73

So 28 pounds is 12.73 Kg

Since 8mg is given per kg, for 12.73 kg, the amount given should be:

12.73 * 8 = 101.84

Rounded to nearest whole number, that is, 102 mg
