A child's dose of medicine is 16
of a pre-measured dose cup. If the bottle of medicine is the size of 9
dose cups, how many children's doses are there in the bottle?
You must have meant 1/16th of a pre-measured dose cup.
If so, then the number of doses in the bottle is 9 รท (1/16) = 144
If it is as you typed it, better call 911.
Well, since a child's dose is 16 pre-measured dose cups and there are 9 dose cups in the bottle, we can use some clown math here. Let's perform the hilarious calculation:
9 dose cups * 16 child's doses = 144 potential child doses
So, there are potentially 144 children's doses in the bottle. But remember, always consult a real-life medical professional for accurate dosage instructions!
To find out how many children's doses are in the bottle, we need to divide the size of the bottle by the size of each child's dose.
The size of the bottle is given as 9 dose cups.
The size of each child's dose is given as 16 of a dose cup.
To find the number of children's doses in the bottle, we divide the size of the bottle by the size of each child's dose:
Number of children's doses = Size of the bottle / Size of each child's dose
Number of children's doses = 9 / 16
Number of children's doses = 0.5625
Since we can't have a fraction of a dose, we round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, there are 0 children's doses in the bottle.
To find out how many children's doses are there in the bottle, you need to divide the size of the bottle by the size of each dose cup.
Given:
- Size of each dose cup: 16
- Size of the bottle (in dose cups): 9
To calculate the number of children's doses in the bottle, divide the size of the bottle by the size of each dose cup:
Number of children's doses = Size of the bottle / Size of each dose cup
Number of children's doses = 9 / 16
To simplify the calculation, let's express the size of each dose cup as a fraction:
16 = 16/1
Then divide the numerator of the bottle size by the numerator of the dose cup size:
Number of children's doses = 9 / (16/1)
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:
Number of children's doses = 9 * (1/16)
Multiply the numerators and denominators:
Number of children's doses = 9/16
Therefore, there are 9/16 children's doses in the bottle.
