A certain drug dosage calls for 25mg per kg per day and is divided into two doses (1 every 12 hours). if a person weighs 180 pounds, how much of the drug should they get each dosage?
We first need the weight of the person in kg. Applying 1 lb = 0.454 kg 180 * 0.454 = 81.72 kg The daily dosage of drug is then: 25 * 81.72 = 2043 mg Dividing that into two doses per day: 2043 / 2 = 1,021.5 mg per dose
