Often the specific amount of a drug to be administered must be calculated from a given dose in mg per kilogram of body weight. This assures that individuals who have very different body mass get the proper dose. If the proper dosage of a drug is 2.0 mg/kg of body weight, how many milligrams would a 165 lb person need?

In the lab, a student measures a teaspoon of an unknown liquid. The teaspoon of liquid has a mass of 6.83 g and a volume of 5.75 mL. How many teaspoons would be in 1.64 kg of this unknown liquid? Round your answer to the nearest whole number
Liquid Tylenol has 325 milligrams of acetaminophen per 12.5 milliliters of liquid medicine (a fact that would be commonly abbreviated as 325 mg/ 12.5 ml). It means that if you could pour Liquid Tylenol into a 12.5 milliliter cup and separate all of the ingredients, you would find that it contains 325 milligrams of acetaminophen (the active ingredient that relieves pain) along with some inactive ingredients like flavorings. The doctor orders 260 milligrams of acetaminophen for a patient. If the patient takes the medicine in the form of Liquid Tylenol, how many milliliters of Liquid Tylenol would he need to take to get the prescribed amount of acetaminophen?
