Ratios and proportions

Proportions are ratios of two integers.

Given the medication with a strength 125mg/5ml which has been ordered at 25 mg/kg.

For a patient that weighs 215lb, the weight in kg will be 97.5224kg

Since 25mg = 1 kg

x = 97.5224kg
x = 25 * 97.5224
x = 2,438.06

Hence the amount of mg required per kg for the patient is 2,438.06mg/kg
