OK Math Majors: I need to give my teething child some baby tylenol. The dosage chart from the pediatrician says that for Infant Tylenol that has 80mg of acetaminophen in each 0.8 ml, her dosage should be 1.2 ml. However, the store was out of Infant Tylenol (of course) so I had to buy Little Fevers brand. Little Fevers has 160 mg of acetaminophen in each 5.0 ml. So what should her dosage be in the Little Fevers? I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure this out!! Thanks to anyone who can help and explain the calculation to me also, so I can learn for next time.

Tylenol has 100mg per ml, so her dosage is 120mg of acetaminophen.
Little fevers has 32mg per ml, so to get to 120mg of acetominophen, give her 3.75ml.
But if this is a real question, call her doctor and make sure "little fevers" brand is okay for her first.
also, stop using my name, age and year of birth for your name. It weirds me out.
