A doctor prescribed a baby 0.75 ml of medication twice a day but the pharmacist labeled the bottle with instructions to administer 3/4 teaspoon twice a day. Fortunately, the child was not injured. Calculate the excess medication given in one day in milliliters.

5.89 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

doctor prescribed = 0.75 ml (2x a day) = 1.5 mL

pharmacist labeled = 3/4 teaspoon  (0.75 teaspoon (2x a day) = 1.5 teaspoon
