    Converts the 25 lb to kg

    multiply the kilograms by the dose (10 mg/kg)

    multiply the amount of ibuprofen by the conversion factor of the concentration of the suspension to calculate the mL

    25 lb x 0.453592 kg/1lb = "A kg"

    A kg x 10 mg/kg = B mg

    B mg x 5.0 mL / 100 mg = "C mL of suspension"
