A dose of antacid is one tablespoon. How many doses may be prepared from a 1-pint bottle? Use a proportion to solve

18 doses
26 doses
32 doses

32 doses

Rationale: There are 32 tablespoons in a 1-pint bottle. Since 1 tablespoon = 15 mL, and 1 pint = 480 mL, use this proportion: 15 mL / 1 dose = 480 mL / X doses. Therefore, X = 32 doses.
