Okay, so the recommended pediatric dose of velazeph, velasif is 20 milligrams per kilogram per day.
00:20
And so we want to know what the daily dose is in milligrams for a child winning 36 pounds.
00:26
So because this is the daily dose, we can just take away this per day part.

So we're looking at the daily dose for someone that weighs 36 pounds.
00:38
So because the dosage is in milligrams per kilogram, we're going to need to convert this child's weight into pounds.
00:45
So the way that we do that is we need the conversion between pounds and kilograms.
00:52
So if we look this up, one kilogram is typically going to be about 2 .20 pounds.
01:05
And so this cancels out pounds and we're left with kilograms.
01:08
And then we want to find out the actual daily dose and we can use this conversion here.
01:17
So we put kilograms on the bottom and milligrams on top.
01:22
We'll be left with units of milligrams and that's going to be how much dosage this particular child needs according to its weight.
01:30
So 36 divided by 2 .2 times 20 is 327 milligrams.
01:40
So that's going to be the daily dose for this child.
