Question

If a patient must take two tablespoons of liquid medication twice a day, how many days will a 600-mL supply last?

Answer 1

A tablespoon is defined as 14.79 mL.

 

A single dose is 2*14.79 = 29.58 mL.

Taking two doses each day is 29.58*2 = 59.16 mL.

 

A 600 mL supply will last 600/59.16 = 10.14 or 10 days.
