To determine [tex]\( \frac{1}{3} \)[/tex] of the adult dose, we first need to understand what the adult dosage is. The adult dosage given is 180 milligrams (mg).
To find [tex]\( \frac{1}{3} \)[/tex] of this dosage, we follow these steps:
1. Start with the total adult dosage: [tex]\( 180 \)[/tex] mg.
2. Divide this dosage by 3 to find [tex]\( \frac{1}{3} \)[/tex] of it.
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{3} \text{ of the adult dose} = \frac{180 \text{ mg}}{3}
\][/tex]
3. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\frac{180}{3} = 60 \text{ mg}
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\( \frac{1}{3} \)[/tex] of the adult dose is 60 milligrams (mg).
