Paula mentions that her ankle hurts a lot. The doctor orders ibuprofen 600 mg by mouth, but Paula tells you she cannot swallow pills. The hospital has a liquid form of Ibuprofen available that contains 100 mg of ibuprofen per 5 mL. How many mL of ibuprofen would you need to give to Paula? Explain your calculations.
