If a 159 pound man can have 1020 mg of a medicine in a day how much can a 127 pound woman have?

Answer :

Answer

A 127 pound woman can have 814.7 mg of medicine in as day

Explanation

Let the amount of medicine a 127 pound woman can have be x mg

Assuming the amount of medicine doesn't depend on gender and only depends on weight,

159 pound man = 1020 mg

127 pound woman = x mg

We can write a mathematical relationship for this by cross multiplying

(159) (x) = (127) (1020)

159x = 129,540

Divide both sides by 159

(159x/159) = (129,540/159)

x = 814.7 mg

Hope this Helps!!!
