Answer:

a. 24.9476 Kg.

b. The safe daily dosage range is between 2494760 units /day and 6236900 units/day

c. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Lets see the convertion from lb to Kg:

  • 1 Lb= 0.453592
  • 55 lb = 0.453592*55= 24.9476 kg

b. Minimum daily dosage is 100,000 units /kg

  • For this kid: 100,000 * 24.9476= 2,494,760 units/ day
  • in 6 dosis; 2494760/6= 415,793.33 units every 4 hours

Maximun daily dosage is 250,000 units /kg

  • For this kid: 250,000 * 24.9476= 6,236,900 units/ day
  • in 6 dosis; 6,236,900/6= 1,039,483.33 units every 4 hours

c: Yes, because 525.000 units every 4 hours is between the minimun and maximun dosaje for this kid
