A doctor prescribed a baby 0.75 ml of medication twice a day but the pharmacist labeled the bottle with instructions to administer 3/4 teaspoon twice a day. Fortunately, the child was not injured. Calculate the excess medication given in one day in milliliters.

5.89 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

doctor prescribed = 0.75 ml (2x a day) = 1.5 mL

pharmacist labeled = 3/4 teaspoon  (0.75 teaspoon (2x a day) = 1.5 teaspoon

                     convert 1.5 teaspoon to mL = 7.39 mL

therefore,

the excess medication given in one day = 7.39 mL - 1.5 mL = 5.89 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The doctor prescribed a baby 0.75 ml of medication twice a day.

The baby should take 1.5 ml of medication in one day.

The pharmacist labeled the bottle with instructions to administer 3/4 teaspoon twice a day.

The instructions told to take 1.5 teaspoons of medication in one day.

The excess medication given in one day (in ml):

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)
