A certain drug dosage calls for 17 mg per kg per day and is divided into two doses (1 every 12 hours). If a person weighs 255 pounds, how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours? Round your dosage to the tenth of a milligram.

985.15mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours

First step is to calculate the weight in kg

255 lbs = 255/2.2 = 115.9 kg

Second step is multiply mg/kg in order to get total medicine per day

Dose per day=115.9kg × 17 mg

Dose per day= 1,970.3

Third step is to calculate how many milligrams of the drug should he receive by dividing the day dose by 2

Dose milligrams=1,970.3/2

Dose milligrams=985.15mg

Therefore how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours will be 985.15mg

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380
