110lbs (1 kg / 2.204 lbs) (2.0mg / 1 kg) = 99.818

Anonymous · Answer

A 110 lb individual requires approximately 100 mg of a drug when the proper dosage is 2.0 mg/kg. This is calculated by first converting pounds to kilograms and then multiplying by the dosage. Specifically, 110 lbs converts to about 49.9 kg, leading to a total dose of approximately 100 mg.
