10,573.4

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Dosage per patient = 73ap/lbs

Weight of patient = 65.7kg

Unknown:

Amount of grams/ap to be given to the patient;

 

Solution:

Since our final answer should be expressed in grams, let us convert all units into grams.

   1000g = 1kg

 Converting 65.7kg to g = 65.7 x 1000 = 65700g

73ap/lbs;

      1lb = 453.6g

 73ap/lbs x $\frac{1lb}{453.6g}$ = 0.161ap/g

Now,

 For a 65700g person, the number of grains app required;

      65700 x 0.161 = 10,573.4grains ap per dose
