Find the error problem 2 Math

The formula known as Cowling’s Rule converts an adult dose into a child’s dose using the child’s age. This would be aliteral equation, which has more than one variable; this one has three to be exact. This discussion also calls for us to incorporate the following words: literal equation, formula, solve, substitute, and conditional equation. The variables that are going to be used are:

a = child’s age

D = adult dose

D = child’s dose

The formula that is being used would be: d = D(a + 1)/ 24

My assignment calls for me to calculate a two year old child’s dose of ibuprofen given that the adult dose is 400 mg.

d = D(a + 1)/24                          The Cowling’s Rule formula.

d = 400(2 + 1)/24                       I substituted 400 for D and 2 for a.

d = 400(3)/24                             You always follow the order of operations and add inside the

                                                   parentheses first.

d = 1200/24                               When following the order of operations the multiplication comes

                                                   next.

d = 600                                      Following the order of operations, the division is the last step

                                                  in solving for the child’s dose.

The correct dose of ibuprofen for a two year old child is 600 mg.”
