A mom administers 2 teaspoons of Children's Tylenol to her child who has a fever. How many doses are contained in an 12 ounce bottle of this medication? (Hint: start the equation with 1dose = 2tsp)

It has to be solved using dimensional analysis and I need help visualizing how to set it up.

Expert Solution

The child receives Tylenol 2 teaspoon for fever

Step 1

One teaspoon contains 5ml

The child receives (one dose) 2 teaspoon that is 10ml

1 fluid oz is 30 ml

This Tylenol bottle contains 12 ounce of medication

To convert this ounce to milliliter

12 ×30= 360 ml

This bottle contains 360 ml of medication

Step 2

One dose =10ml (2teaspoon)

One fluid ounce is 30ml

Convert milliliters into doses

Total milliliters of medication

-------------------------------------------

One Dose (10 ml)

360 ml /10ml =36 doses

This Tylenol 12 ounce bottle contains 36 doses of medication
