Question

A doctor orders 150 mg of aspirin to be taken by 12.4 Ib infant every 9 hours. How many mg of the drug does the infant take in 36 hours?

Answer 1

Answer: 600 mg in 36 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide 36 by 9, so you know how many times the infant has to take the medicine. 36/9=4

2. Multiply 150x4 because the infant has to take 150 mg, each dosage. 150x4=600.

3. Your final answer is 600 mg. (You did not need the infant's weight in this problem. So, that's why it was not worked in.)

Hope this helps. :)
