Answer to Question 1

Convert pound weight to kilogram weight. Kilogram weight multiplied by dose, divided by the concentration of the drug.

Answer to Question 2

Divide 38 (pound weight) by 2.2 to calculate kilogram weight = 17.27 kilograms. Kilogram weight may be rounded up to 17.5 kg.

The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
