    Answer:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that the adult dosage = 15 mg/day.

    1. The pediatric dosage for a child weighing 52 pounds can be determined by;

    Pediatric Dosage = (Child weight divided by 150 lbs.) x Adult Dose

                                 = \frac{52}{150} x 15 mg/day

                                 = 5.2 mg/day

    The pediatric dosage of the medication for a child weighing 52 pounds is 5.2 mg per day.

    2. The medication can be consume by either an adult or a  pediatric at a measured quantity. If an adult takes 15 mg of the medication per day, then any child whose weight is 52 pounds can take a maximum quantity of 5.2 mg of the medication per day. This implies that a child of the measured weight should not take more than 5.2 mg of the medication per day, and probably not at once.

    The dosage of the medication for a pediatric can be determined by;

    Pediatric Dosage = (Child weight divided by 150 lbs.) x Adult Dose

    That is, once the weight of a child is determined, the dosage can be calculated.
