. A farmer needs to administer a dose of albendazole dewormer to a cow that weighs 992 lbs. The dosage recommended by his veterinarian is 10 mg per kg of body weight. How many mg of albendazole should the farmer administer? [1 kg = 2.205 lbs] Calculate the weight of this cow in kg. Round to 4 decimal places. Then, using the exact weight in kg (not your rounded weight) and the medical conversion, determine the dose that the cow should get in mg. Round to two decimal places.Using your answer from the previous slide, if albendazole is only available as a liquid, and each milliliter of the liquid contains 125 mg of albendazole, how many mL of the liquid should the farmer administer?  Round to two decimal places.   2.The doctor orders a single dose of 20 mg/kg for every does dose of amoxicillin oral suspension for a toddler who weighs 25 lbs. [1 kg = 2.205 lbs] Helpful hint: Always start with weight first! Calculate the weight of this toddler in kg. Round to 4 decimal places. Then, using the exact weight in kg (not your rounded weight) and the medical conversion, determine the dose that the toddler should get in mg. Round to two decimal places.
