can someone help me with this please The average dosage of oxcarbazepine for an epileptic child between the ages of four and sixteen is 9.00 mg per 1 kg of body weight. Calculate how many milliliters of oxcarbazepine a child who weighs 42.7 pounds should be prescribed considering the medication is served as a suspension of 60.0 mg/mL. Keep in mind, 1 pound is equivalent to 0.453 kilograms.

Okay, so find the weight of the child in kg, knowing: 1 lb = 0.453 kg find how many mg the child will need with this weight. 9 mg for every kg then given the density (60.0 mg/mL), find the volume you need to use: \(\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}\) where, m= mass, V= volume, \(\rho\)= density
