Question

A doctor prescribed 250 mg of medication for every 100 pounds of body weight. How many grams of this medication would a 175-pound person receive?

Answer 1

437 1/2mg

Explanation:

`175/100=1(3)/(4)`

250*1 3/4= 437 1/2

Answer 2

0.4375 grams.

Explanation:

So to get mg for a 175 pound person, we do 175/100=1.75 and 1.75*250=437.5 mg.

And 437.5 mg is 0.4375 grams.
