Answer: 100 mg/dose
Explanation:
1) you need to convert lb to kg. There are 2.2lb in each kilogram. Your conversion equation would then be 44(childs stated weight) divided by 2.2
(44/2.2)= 20 kg. So now you have that the child weighs 20kg
2) you need to determine how much mg the child will receive TOTAL in a day.
So you would do 20mg x 20kg (weight). This equals 400mg/day
3) Now that you have the total dosages in a day, the problem states that that dose needs to be divided into 4 different dosages, so you would take the total 400mg and divide by 4 (400/4). Which comes out to 100mg/dose
