Explanation:

Step1: Convert grams to kilograms

Since \(1\ kg = 1000\ g\), then \(3900\ g=\frac{3900}{1000} = 3.9\ kg\)

Step2: Calculate the amount of medication

The dose is \(2.8\ mg/kg\). Multiply the dose per kilogram by the patient's weight in kilograms. So, \(2.8\times3.9=(3 - 0.1)\times2.8=3\times2.8-0.1\times2.8 = 8.4-0.28=8.12\)

Answer:

\(8.1\)
