• A. 15 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 12 pounds
• D. 11 pounds

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 176 ounces ÷ 16 = 11 pounds. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choices B and C are also incorrect as they do not accurately convert the given ounces to pounds.

• D. 5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Given that 1 teaspoon is equal to 5ml, and the medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon, we need to find half of 5ml. 1/2 of 5ml = 5ml / 2 = 2.5ml Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milliliters for 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5ml.
