13 pound cat. How much medicine should the veterinarian prescribe if the dosage is 1.8 mg per pound Number 388

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we have to multiply the total number of pounds by the dosage per pound.

Therefore, the veterinarian should prescribe:

$13\text{ pounds*1.8mg/pound}=23.4\text{ mg.}$

Answer:

$23.4\text{ mg.}$
