A doctor may prescribe Keflex for an ear infection. One capsule = 0.250 g of Keflex. The recommended daily dose for a child is (40.0mg of Keflex)/(kg that the child weighs). How many Keflex capsules would a 69-pound child take for one daily dose? (Round to the nearest whole number of capsules) Given: 1 pound = 0.453592 kg

5 capsules

Step-by-step explanation:

A doctor may prescribe Keflex for an ear infection. One capsule = 0.250 g of Keflex. The recommended daily dose for a child is (40.0mg of Keflex)/(kg that the child weighs).

Step 1

We convert the capsules form grams to milligrams

1 gram = 1000 milligrams

0.250grams = x

Cross Multiply

x = 0.250 × 1000 milligrams

x = 250 mg

Hence, 1 capsule = 250 mg

How many Keflex capsules would a 69-pound child take for one daily dose? (Round to the nearest whole number of capsules) Given: 1 pound = 0.453592 kg

The recommended daily dose for a child is (40.0mg of Keflex)/(kg that the child weighs).

The child weighs 69 pounds

1 pound = 0.453592 kg

69 pounds = x kg

Cross Multiply

x kg = 69 × 0.453592kg

x kg = 31.297848kg

Hence,

1 kg= 40.0 mg

31.297848 kg = x

x = 31.297848 × 40.0mg

x = 1251.91392mg

Therefore, the child would take 1251.91392 mg

From the first calculation we know that:

1 capsule = 250 mg

250mg = 1 capsule

1251.91392 mg = x capsules

250mg × x = 1251.91392 mg × 1 capsule

x = 1251.91392 mg/250mg

x = 5.00765568 capsules

Approximately = 5 capsules

Hence, a child that weighs 69 pounds takes 5 capsules of keflex
