Okay, so we have a few conversions to take into account here. First, we need to convert the body weight of the person from pounds to kilograms. There are 0.454 kg in a pound, so we can multiply 185 x (0.454kg/1lb) to get 83.99kg. Next, we know the dosage is 9.0mg per kg, so we can multiply 9.0mg x 83.99kg to get 755.91 mg!
Does that make sense?

Convert the person's weight from pounds to kg, and then multiply the weight in kg by 9.0 mg/kg. That will give the dose in mg.02/07/20
