Answer:the usual dosage would be

54.55 milligrams.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Ibuprofen is given for fever to children 6 months of age up to 2 years, the usual dose is 5 milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight when the fever is under 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that the usual dose for a 18 month old child would be 5 milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight. Since the weight of the child is 24 pounds, we would covert 24 pounds to kilogram.

2.2 pounds = 1 kg

24 pounds = 24/2.2 = 10.91 kg

Therefore, the dosage would be

5 × 10.91 = 54.55 milligrams

Using Imperial Measurements

Answer:

Square your height in inches. For example if you are 70 inches tall, then multiply 70 by 70. The answer would be 4,900.

Divide weight by height. If you weigh 180 pounds, then divide 180 by 4,900. The answer is 0.03673.

Multiply your last answer by 703. This equals 25.82 so your BMI in this example would be 25.8.

The equation is simply (height^2), (weight/height^2), (Answer*703) = BMI.

2/6 + 1/3 =<br><br> _ / _ + _ / _ = _ / _ = _ / _
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1/3 = 2/6

2/6 + 2/6 = 4/6 = 2/3

2/3 or 4/6 is your answer. You should probably go with 2/3 b/c that is the most simplified!
