Answer
(a) 15 milliliters of the drug should be administered.
(b) 0.5 fluid ounces of the drug should be administered.
Work Step by Step
(a) $1~cc = 1~mL$
We can convert 15 cc to units of milliliters.
$15~cc = \frac{15~cc}{1}\times \frac{1~mL}{1~cc} = 15~mL$
15 milliliters of the drug should be administered.
(b) $1~fl~oz = 30~mL$
We can convert 15 cc to units of fluid ounces.
$15~cc = \frac{15~cc}{1}\times \frac{1~mL}{1~cc}\times \frac{1~fl~oz}{30~mL} = 0.5~fl~oz$
0.5 fluid ounces of the drug should be administered.
