10^{-8} mutations per nucleotide. If there are 100 million nucleotides per haploid genome, there are 200 million nucletides per diploid genome. Six mutations divided by 200 million is 10^{-8}.

kifflom [539]

Given: Drug medications are often prescribed on the basis of body mass. the adult dosages of elixophylin, a drug used to treat asthma, is 6mg/kg of body mass.

To find: The dosage amount for a person weighing 160 lb.

Method: Unitary method of proportions

Solution:

First we'll convert the weight of person from imperial unit to metric unit.

1 pound = 0.45 kilograms

160 pounds = 0.45 x 160 = 72 kg

∴ The weight of person in kilograms is 72 kg.

Now, a  elixophylin dosage of 6 mg is administered to 1 kg body mass.

For 72 kg body mass, dosage will be,

\frac{6 \times 72}{1} = 432 mg

∴ The person of 160 lb body weight will receive 432 mg of elixophylin dosage.
