Answer: 30 cc per day

Step-by-step explanation:

If the patient needs 450 milligrams and each cubic centimeter contains 50 milligrams, we proceed to make a rule of three like this

1cc contains 50mg

x. contains 450mg

1*450=450

450/50=9 =x

The result is 9 cubic centimeters, the closest answer among the options is 10 cc with each meal, so if you require 3 doses, multiply by 3 obtaining 30 cc per day.
