Video transcript

Hey, everyone were asked is a fluid ounce larger than a pint. If so, by how much to answer this question, we need to recall the conversion factors we've learned And this is going to be that one pint is equivalent to 16 fluid ounces. Looking at this conversion, we can already tell that a pint is larger than a fluid ounce, So our answer here is going to be no, a pint is about 16 times larger, then a fluid ounce, and this is going to be our final answer. Now, I hope that made sense and let us know if you have any questions.

Textbook Question
Administration of digitalis, a drug used to control atrial fibrilla-tion in heart patients, must be carefully controlled because even a modest overdose can be fatal. To take differences between patients into account, drug dosages are prescribed in terms of mg/kg body weight. Thus, a child and an adult differ greatly in weight, but both receive the same dosage per kilogram of body weight. At a dosage of 20 mg/kg body weight, how many mil-ligrams of digitalis should a 160 lb patient receive?
