    you would have to do 170/20 which equals 8.5 multiply that by 8

    so his daily does would be 510 milligrams

    The daily dose for a patient that weighs 170 pounds is 510 milligrams.

    60 milligrams / 20 pounds = x milligrams / 170 pounds cross multiply

    10200 = 20x divide by 20 on both sides

    x = 510 milligrams
