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.
15. How many ounces is this?
To convert from milliliters (mL) to ounces (oz), we can use the conversion factor that 1 mL is equal to 0.033814 oz.
The child should take 30 mL twice a day.
So, the total amount of medication the child should take in a day is 30 mL x 2 = 60 mL.
To find out how many ounces this is, we can calculate:
60 mL x 0.033814 oz/mL = 2.02884 oz
Therefore, the child should take approximately 2.03 ounces of the liquid medication per day.
