An antitussive product contains 0.05g of dextromethorphan in each teaspoonful dose. How many milligrams of dextromethorphan would be contained in a 4 ounce bottle?

Answer provided by our tutors

usually one teaspoon = 1/6 oz

1/6 oz got 0.05g

1 oz got (0.05)(6) = 0.3 g

4 oz bottle = 4(0.3) = 1.2 g

1.2g = 1200 mg

1200 mg of dextromethorphan would be contained in a 4 ounce bottle
