    If the lethal dose of arsenic is 15 mg/kg what's the lethal dose for a 150 lb adult?

    Well, we would rather weigh more in kilograms than we would in pounds. So the number of kilograms is smaller than the number of pounds.

    There are 2.205 pounds per kilogram. So, how many kilograms does a 150 pound man weigh?
