Answer:

Explanation:

Total number of doses of medication needed to be administered is 26. Each dose is 1 1/3oz. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 4/3 oz

If you only have a 32oz bottles of med in stock, the number of doses of medication that it can contain will be capacity of the bottle / the size of each dose of medication. It becomes

32 ÷ 4/3 = 32 × 3/4 = 24

Only 24 doses can be filled with the

32oz bottles

So it will not be enough to administer all 26 doses
