?g

Answer 1

take into account that there are 1000mg per gram

Answer 2

Hey there

Answer 3

And take into account 1000g is 1 kilogram.

Answer 4

do we need to convert kg to g?

Answer 5

So, when you say 30 mg/kg, that is trying to say: 30 milogram/kilogram.
@arturos : That's what I'm thinking.

Answer 6

*milligram*

Answer 7

so we only need to find the amount of 30 milligrams in gram correct or do we also need to convert kg to g

Answer 8

I dunno. She's not replying. Let me try this: @harz360
That should call her.

Answer 9

yes so what are we converting

Answer 10

That's what were asking you.

Answer 11

because i think that they are only asking for g/kg rather than g/g

Answer 12

does it matter what we convert first?

Answer 13

I don't think so.

Answer 14

Units of Length Units of Weight Units of Capacity
1 in = 2.54 cm 1 oz = 28.35 g 1 L = 1.06 qt
1 m = 3.28 ft 1 lb = 454 g 1 gal = 3.79 L
1 mi = 1.61 km 1 kg = 2.2 lb 1 fl oz = 30 mL

Answer 20

this is the question i copied and pasted it The daily adult dosage for a particular drug is 30 mg/kg. How many grams of the drug should be administered daily to a patient weighing 231 lbs?
? g we want it in grams

Answer 21

now it makes sense. you missed the "administered daily to a patient weighing 231 lbs"

Answer 22

@harz360 : That seems to clarify things a lot (like what Data_LG2 mentioned) ... :)
So, you'd first convert the 231 lbs to kg - then multiply by 0.03 to get the amount of drug in grams to be administered.

Answer 23

so convert 231 lbs into kg then multiply it by 30 mg/kg. The product will be in mg. Then, convert mg to g by using 1000m = gram

oh shiraz already explained. :) I'll leave it to you guys now
