If a medication contains a 25mg dose per tablespoonful, what is the total volume of 20 doses?

1. 200ml

2. 250ml

3. 300ml

4. 350ml

The correct answer is: 300ml

To determine the total volume for 20 doses of a medication that contains a 25 mg dose per tablespoonful, it's important to first understand the relationship between dosage amount and volume. One tablespoonful is typically equivalent to about 15 milliliters (ml). Therefore, for a 25 mg dose per tablespoonful, each tablespoonful provides that dose amount. Calculating for 20 doses: 1. Each dose (one tablespoonful) is 15 ml. 2. To find the total volume for 20 doses, multiply the volume of one dose by the number of doses: 15 ml/tablespoonful × 20 doses = 300 ml. This calculation indicates that the total volume for 20 doses is indeed 300 ml. Thus, the choice that indicates this total is the correct answer. It's important to note that other options reflect different volumes that do not correspond to the per tablespoonful dosage measurement when correctly calculated, thus confirming that 300 ml is the accurate total volume.
