If an adult does is 5mg/kg body weight. What does would we give a 123Ib adult?
Here is what I did:
(5mg/1kg)=(xmg/55.90kg)
x=279.5mg (approximation)
My book says the answer is x= 307.5mg.
What did I do wrong?
I would really appreciate some help!!!
This has been driving me crazy. I have a feeling the book is wrong although.

1 lb = 0.453592kg
(123)(0.453592) = 55.791816kg
If an adult weighs 55.791816kg and the dose is 5mg/kg body weight, then the dose would be:
55.791816*5 = 278.96mg
I agree with you
