Question

Carlos's dog needs medication. He told the veterinarian that the dog weighs 65 lb. The medicine is measured as 8 mg for each kilogram of the animal's mass.
How much medicine should be given to Carlos's dog?
Use I lb = 0.45 kg and do not round any computations.

Answer 1

Answer: 235.84 mg

Step-by-step explanation: 65 lb to kg is 65lb*(0.45kg/ 1lb)= 29.48 kg

With that, you would multiply the amount of medicine needed for every kilogram of animal, so 29.48 kg* (8 mg/ 1kg)= 235.84 mg
