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? Solve by using ratio and proportion

Answer 1

To find the amount of bottles should be given for 5 days , first find out how doses are in each bottle.

60/10=6 doses then divide by the the numbers of times to be taken.

6doses/3=2 which is two days.

Then make a ration bottle to days:

1bottle:2 days

How much bottles is needed for 5 days?

5days*1bottle/2days=2.5 bottles

So 2.5 bottles is needed for 5 days.
