The doctor prescribed 30 mL of a medication per dose for a patient. How many tablespoons should Sam tell the patient to take per dose? _______T
There are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.
Since 1 teaspoon is equal to 5 mL,
then 30 mL is equal to 30/5 = 6 teaspoons.
And 6 teaspoons is equal to 6/3 = 2 tablespoons.
So Sam should tell the patient to take 2 tablespoons per dose.
