Problem

Question 6 1 pts Nurse Sam gave the mother of the sick child a $16 \mathrm{oz}$ bottle of liquid medication and told her the child should take $30 \mathrm{~mL}$ twice a day. How many tablespoons is one dose? Note: Only include a number in the box below. It is understood that your answer is in units of tablespoons. If you include a number and a word, like "14 tablespoons" to represent the unit, your answer would be counted wrong.

Solution

Step 1 :First, we need to convert the dose from milliliters to ounces, since the medication bottle is measured in ounces. We know that 1 ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters. So, we calculate \(30 \times 0.03381405650328842\) to get approximately 1.0144216950986527 ounces.

Step 2 :Next, we need to convert the dose from ounces to tablespoons. We know that 1 ounce is approximately 2 tablespoons. So, we calculate \(1.0144216950986527 \times 2\) to get approximately 2.0288433901973053 tablespoons.

Step 3 :Final Answer: The final answer is approximately \(\boxed{2.03}\) tablespoons.
