Explanation / Answer

Dose per kg =5 mg/kg

weight = 40 kg (assuming, not clear in question)

Total dose per day = dose per kg*weight in kg

therefore, total dose per day= 5mg/kg*40

=200 mg

Single dose = Dose per day/ number of doses

thus, single dose = 200/ 3=66.66=66.67 mg

one cap = 30mg

so , 66.67/30= 2.22 cap

answer is 2 2/3 cap
