The daily dose for a patient that weighs 170 pounds is 510 milligrams.

60 milligrams/ 20 pounds = x milligrams/ 170 pounds cross multiply

10200= 20x divide by 20 on both sides

x= 510 milligrams

you would have to do 170/20 which equals 8.5 multiply that by 8

so his daily does would be 510 milligrams
