One of the formulas for calculating the correct dosage for a child is as follows: C= a/((a+12)) ∙ 180 C = child’s dosage in milligrams a = age of the child A = adult dosage in milligrams What is the prescribed dosage of a certain medicine for a child 6 years old, if the adult dosage of the medicine is 180 milligrams?

So you already have the formula for calculating the dosage for child with: C = a/(a+12)x 180 ml Not sure why you have double brackets

variables are: a = child's age, so everywhere you have an "a" replace it with the age of child.

Example: 5 year old child

C = 5/(5+12)*180= 5/(17)*180 = 5/3060 = .0016 ml or milligrams
