Question

Examlex · Accepted Answer

The Answer is 25 mL per dose
Convert pounds to kilograms: 55 pounds = 25 kg.
25 kg × 50 mg/kg/day = 1250 mg/day
To get the amount per dose, divide 1250 by 2, which equals 625 mg/dose.
To calculate the milliliters:
125 mg:5 mL :: 625 mg:x mL
(125 × x) = (5 × 625); 125x = 3125; x = 25 mL/dose
