Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine how many days the bottle of medication will last, we first need to know the total volume of the bottle and the amount the child needs to take per day.

Given:
Total volume of the bottle: 16 oz (which we'll convert to mL)
Amount to be taken per day: 30 mL

To convert ounces to milliliters (mL), we can use the fact that 1 oz is equivalent to approximately 29.5735 mL.

1. Converting the total volume of the bottle from ounces to milliliters:
16 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 473.176 mL

Therefore, the bottle contains 473.176 mL of liquid medication.

2. Calculating the dosage for one day:
The child needs to take 30 mL per day.

3. Determining the number of days the bottle will last:
By dividing the total volume of the bottle by the dosage per day:
473.176 mL / 30 mL per day = 15.7725

The bottle of medication will last approximately 15.7725 days.
