If a certain patient takes 1 teaspoonful syrup three time daily for six day, how many ounces should be dispensed?

Answer 1

To calculate the number of ounces that should be dispensed, we need to know the volume of one teaspoonful in ounces.

One teaspoon is approximately equal to 0.1667 ounces.

The patient takes 1 teaspoonful of syrup three times daily for six days.

First, we need to calculate the total number of teaspoonfuls the patient will take:
3 times daily x 6 days = 18 teaspoonfuls

Then, we need to convert the teaspoonfuls to ounces:
18 teaspoonfuls x 0.1667 ounces = 3 ounces (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the pharmacist should dispense 3 ounces of syrup.
