To find the dose for a child, we use the formula:
"Age of Child" / ("Age of Child" + 12) × "Adult Dose"
Now let's calculate the dose for a 10-year-old child using an adult dose of 100 mg.
Step 1: Apply the formula.
10 / (10 + 12) × 100
Step 2: Simplify the expression inside the brackets.
10 / 22 × 100
Step 3: Perform the division.
0.4545 × 100
Step 4: Multiply.
45.45
Therefore, the dose for a 10-year-old child would be approximately 45.5 mg (rounded to one decimal place).
For part B, let's find the adult dose if a 12-year-old child's dose is 15 mg.
Step 1: Apply the formula.
"Adult Dose" = ("Age of Child" / ("Age of Child" + 12)) × "Child Dose"
Step 2: Plug in the given values.
"Adult Dose" = (12 / (12 + 12)) × 15
Step 3: Simplify the expression inside the brackets.
"Adult Dose" = 0.5 × 15
Step 4: Multiply.
"Adult Dose" = 7.5
Therefore, the adult dose would be 7.5 mg.
