PART A: To find how many ml the child will receive per dose, we need to divide the total dosage (550 mg) by the concentration of the medication (100 mg/ml).
550 mg / 100 mg/ml = 5.5 ml (per dose)
Therefore, the child will receive 5.5 ml per dose.
PART B: To convert ml to tsp, we need to know the conversion rate. One teaspoon is approximately 5 ml.
5.5 ml / 5 ml/tsp = 1.1 tsp (per dose)
Therefore, the child will receive approximately 1.1 tsp per dose.
