Nurse Sam gave the mother of the sick child a 16 oz bottle of liquid
medication and told her the child should take 30 mL twice a day. How many
total fluid ounces will the child take in one day? For your answer, please type
in only a number. If you include anything other than your numerical answer,
your result will be recorded as incorrect.
The child will take 30 mL of medication twice a day, which is a total of 30 mL x 2 = <<30*2=60>>60 mL per day.
Since 1 fluid ounce is equal to 29.5735 mL, the child will take 60 mL / 29.5735 mL = <<60/29.5735=2.02884>>2.03 fluid ounces per day. Answer: \boxed{2.03}.
To calculate the total fluid ounces the child will take in one day, we need to find out how many fluid ounces are in 30 mL and then multiply it by the number of times the child takes the medication in a day.
Since 1 fluid ounce is equal to 29.5735 mL, we can calculate the number of fluid ounces as follows:
30 mL * (1 fluid ounce / 29.5735 mL) = 1.014 fluid ounces
Since the child takes the medication twice a day, the total fluid ounces the child will take in one day is:
1.014 fluid ounces * 2 = 2.028 fluid ounces
Therefore, the child will take 2.028 fluid ounces in one day.
