To determine how much of the expectorant is present in a quart of the medication, it's essential to first understand how many tablespoons are contained in a quart. One quart is equivalent to 4 cups, and since there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, a quart contains 64 tablespoons (4 cups x 16 tablespoons per cup). Knowing that each tablespoon of the medicine contains 25 mg of the expectorant, we can calculate the total amount in a quart. By multiplying the number of tablespoons in a quart (64) by the amount of expectorant per tablespoon (25 mg), the calculation would be: 64 tablespoons x 25 mg/tablespoon = 1600 mg Thus, there would be a total of 1600 mg of expectorant in a quart of the medicine, making this the correct answer. Understanding the conversions and performing the multiplication accurately is crucial in arriving at the right solution.
