Answer is: 2,469 mL give to the child.
The mass m in kilograms (kg) is equal to the mass m in pounds (lb) times 0,45359237: m(child) = 72,6 · 0,045359237 = 32,93 kg.
m(Medrol) = 32,93 kg · 1,5 mg/kg.
m(Medrol) = 49,39 mg.
d(Medrol) = 20,0 mg/mL.
V(Medrol) = m(Medrol) ÷ d(Medrol).
V(Medrol) = 49,39 mg ÷ 20 mg/mL.
V(Medrol) = 2,469 mL.

What is Medrol?

Medrol is a drug given to severe allergies, eye conditions, blood conditions, skin diseases etc.

Now, the given quantities are:

Bodyweight is 72.6 lb

Convert lb into kg:

1 kg = 0.45360 lb

Then [tex]\bold{72.6 \times 0.45360 = 32.93\; kg}[/tex]

m(Medrol) = [tex]\bold{32.93\; kg \times 1.5 mg/kg= 49.39\; mg}[/tex]

Given, the amount of Medrol is 20. mg/ml

[tex]\bold{V(Medrol) = \frac{ m(Medrol)}{d(Medrol)} }[/tex]

[tex]\bold{V(Medrol) = \dfrac{49.39 mg }{20 mg/ml} }[/tex].

V(Medrol) = 2,469 ml.

Thus, the quantity is 2,469 ml.
