CCBMA Math And Dosage Calculations Practice Test

If a patient’s maximum recommended dose is 45 mL, how many tablespoons does that correspond to?

5 tbsp 3 tbsp 6 tbsp 9 tbsp

Correct Answer:

3 tbsp

Explanation:

Knowing that 1 tablespoon equals 15 milliliters makes this straightforward. To find how many tablespoons match 45 mL, divide 45 by 15. 45 ÷ 15 = 3, so 45 mL corresponds to 3 tablespoons. The other options would correspond to larger volumes: 5 tablespoons is 75 mL, 6 tablespoons is 90 mL, and 9 tablespoons is 135 mL, all exceeding the 45 mL maximum.
