1 tablet contains 5mg of a drug. an order of 1.5 tablets to be given to a 125 lb pt what dose is given in mg/k

i took an exam a few days ago and i want to see if i got this right

Answer:
5 mg x 1.5 tabs = 7.5 mg
125 lb / 2.2 = 56.8 kg

7.5 mg / 56.8 kg = 0.13 mg/kg
0.13216 mg / kg
Answer is (5*1.5/125)*2.204=0.132 mg/kg.
(2.204lb=1kg)
0.132 mg/kg

Good Luck!
