lb equals 300.00 mg kg
Here
Adult dose = 600 mg
Weight of the child = 75 lb = 34.05 kg
Clark's rule, based on weight:
Child dose ` =(Weight \quad (lb))/(150) × ADULT \quad DOSE \quad (mg)`
`\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad = (75)/(150) × 600 \quad mg = 300.00 \quad mg` Ans.
Weight of the child = 75 lb = 34.05 kg
