Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I am not sure if I get this right. Let's say that the lethal dose is 1.3 mg/kg. If I get the math right, it means that the lethal dose for 140lbs would be around 83 mg?
I just substituted 2.2 lb instead of kg, doubled up the mg/lb til I reached the 140 lbs and it's around 83 mg per 140lbs, right?
What's the formula for that? Thanks!

83 mg is right, yeah.
1 avoirdupois pound is 0.453 592 37 kg...
1.3 mg/kg ~ 0.59 mg/lb
140*0.453 592 37*1.3 ~ 82.55 mg
