The patient will use a household measure and should be told to drink ________ of fluids per day.If the answer results in a mixed number be sure to include a space between the whole number and the fraction. Example: 1 1/4 (read as one and one-fourth).
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
11.25
2.7 L = 2,700 mL
1 c = 8 oz = 240 mL
1 c : 240 mL = x : 2,700 mL
1 × 2,700 = 240 × x
2,700 = 240x
2,700 ÷ 240 = 240x ÷ 240
11.25 c = x
