The child weighs 77lbs which is converted by 1pound is equal to 0.454 so 77*0.454=34.65kg To calculate the volume be prescription for the patient * stock volume(ml) = volume(ml) stock strength available          

prescription for the patient = 5mg * 34.65= 173.25 ,    stock available= 2ml , stock strength available = 50 mg

so the answer will be 173.25mg * 2ml

Prescription of the patient * stockvolume  

stock strength available = volume ( ml)

= 20mg * 5 ml

10 mg = 10  ml  

hence the ml  instruct the patient to take per dose = 10 ml

1 milliltre = 0.202884 and it wi be converted to teaspoon by 10 * 0.202884= 2.02 teaspoons

And the answer for teaspoon taken per dose is 2.02.
