Explanation / Answer
1) 1 oz = 30 mL
Volume in ml = 0.4*30 = 12 ml
2) 1 gr = 60 mg
No of tablets = 10 gr* 60 mg/gr * 1/325 tablet/mg
= 10*60*1/325 = 1.846 tablets
3)
1 t = 5 ml
5 ml = 125 mg
total amount of drug required = 0.25 grams
Volume of drug must be taken = 0.25*1000*5/125 = 10 ml
No of teaspoon(s) must be taken = 10/5 = 2
