To fight ear infections in children, doctors often prescribe Ceclor. The recommended dose in milligrams varies
directly with the child's body weight in pounds. If the proper dosage for a 25-pound child is 155 milligrams,
find the proper dosage for a 29-pound child.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to the condition, you can use a proportion

155%2F25 = dosage%2F29.

Then dosage = %28155%2A29%29%2F25.

Use your calculator.
