With the additional information provided, I am assuming the formula is
C = [a / (a + 12)] * A
C = [6 / (6 + 12)] * 180 mg = 60 mg

The orginal problem was set up like this C=a/ a+12×A they already gave the 12 in the formula then they told us the kis was 6 and the adult dosage was 180. Little a represented age of child , A represented adult dosage in milligrams and C is childs dosage in milligrams.
