How many 60 ml bottles of Lagundi Cough Syrup should be given to a 10-year old patient if the dose is 10 ml to be taken three times a day for 5 days?

Question

Solve by using

a) ratio and proportion

b) dimensional analysis

Answer 1

10 ml x 3/day x 5 days = 150 ml total needed

1 bottle / 60 ml = x bottles / 150 ml

x = 2.5 bottles = 3 bottles

150 ml x 1 bottle / 60 ml = 2.5 bottles = 3 bottles
