Bob's dog needs medication. He told the veterinarian that the dog weighs 30lbs . The medicine is measured as 16mg for each kilogram of the animal's mass. How much medicine should be given to Bob's dog? Use 1lb=0.45 kg and do not round any computations.

Bob's dog should be given 216 mg of medicine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Weight of dog = 30 lbs

We know that:

1 lb = 0.45 kg

30 lbs = 0.45 * 30 kg

30 lbs = 13.5 kg

Medicine for each kilogram of weight = 16 mg

1 kilogram = 16 mg

13.5 kg = 16 * 13.5 mg

13.5 kg = 216 mg

Hence,

Bob's dog should be given 216 mg of medicine.
