Answer: 60 tablespoons

Step-by-step explanation:

One tablespoon is equivalent to 0.5 fluid ounces. Therefore, we can use the following conversion factor:

1 tablespoon = 0.5 fluid ounces

To find out how many tablespoons of medicine are needed to make 30 ounces, we can set up a proportion:

1 tablespoon / 0.5 fluid ounces = x tablespoons / 30 fluid ounces

where x is the number of tablespoons needed.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

1 * 30 = 0.5 * x

30 = 0.5x

x = 30 / 0.5

x = 60

Therefore, the caregiver will need 60 tablespoons of medicine to prepare 30 ounces using only a tablespoon for measuring.
