Step 1: Convert the child's weight from kilograms to pounds.
45 \text{ Kg} \times 2.20462 = 99.208 \text{ lbs}
Step 2: Calculate the required amount of Drug Z in mg.
15 \text{ mg/lb} \times 99.208 \text{ lbs} = 1488.12 \text{ mg}
Step 3: Convert the amount of Drug Z per mL of the solution from grams to mg.
0.7 \text{ g/mL} = 700 \text{ mg/mL}
Step 4: Calculate the volume of medication required in mL.
\frac{1488.12 \text{ mg}}{700 \text{ mg/mL}}=2.126\text{ mL}
Step 2: Calculate the required amount of Drug Z in mg.
Step 3: Convert the amount of Drug Z per mL of the solution from grams to mg.
Step 4: Calculate the volume of medication required in mL.
