d=0.08 aD ,d represents the dose for kids and a represents the kids age. D represents an adult. If a doctor give 1,000mg to an adult, how many mg it will be given for a 8 year kid?

Answer :

The formula of Fried is given as:

d = 0.08 a D

Where:

d is the dose for a kid

a is the age of the kid

D is the dose for an adult

We are required to find the dose for an 8-year kid given a medical doctor gives D=1,000 mg of acetaminophen to an adult.

Substitute the given values of a=8 and D=1,000:

d = 0.08 (8) (1,000)

Multiplying:

d = 640 mg
