Question 22864: This is Tim Hunt again.
I am confused about one of the questions you helped me with.
1 tablespoonful qid (four times a day) for 3 days (4 X 3) = 12 tablespoonsful.
1 Tablespoonful = 15 ml approximately. Perhaps your PDR has the exact conversion factor for this but I think it's more like 14.7868 ml per tbsp.
12 tbsp = 180 ml approximately.
12 tbsp = 177.4412 ml more precisely.
How did you get 14.7868
I know 12 x 15 = 180
and how did you get 177.4412?
Please help

I was trying to use a more precise conversion factor by using 14.7868 ml per tablespoon.
If 1 tablespoon = 14.7868 ml, then 12 tablespoons = 12(14.7868) = 177.4416 ml
If you are allowed to use the approximate conversion factor of 1 tablespoon = 15 ml, I would go with that. So 12 tablespoons = 12(15) = 180 ml.
