Answer:

3.5 Grams

Step-by-step

set 2grams/60lbs equal to xgrams/105

x representing the amount of medicine needed for a 105lb child

Then you divide 60 by 105.

60/105=1.75

Now you multiply 2 by 1.75.

2 x 1.75 = 3.5

3.5 is your answer because 105 is 1.75 times more lbs than 60lbs

meaning you would need 1.75 times the amount of 2grams

to determine the value of x, which is 3.5grams
