For questions 13 – 16, use the following question prompt: 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.
13. How many tablespoons is one dose? ________
To convert mL to tablespoons, we need to know that 1 tablespoon is equal to 14.79 mL.
To find out how many tablespoons are in one dose (30 mL), we can divide 30 mL by 14.79 mL/tablespoon.
30 mL / 14.79 mL/tablespoon = 2.03 tablespoons (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, one dose is approximately 2.03 tablespoons.
