To find out how many units of vitamin A would be administered to a child given 2 drops of the solution, we need to first determine the amount of solution in each drop.Given that the dropper is calibrated to deliver 20 drops per milliliter of solution, we can calculate the amount of solution in each drop by dividing 1 milliliter by 20 drops.1 milliliter / 20 drops = 0.05 milliliters per dropNow, we can calculate the amount of vitamin A in each drop by multiplying the amount of solution in each drop by the amount of vitamin A per milliliter of solution.1500 units of vitamin A per milliliter * 0.05 milliliters per drop = 75 units of vitamin A per dropFinally, we can calculate the total amount of vitamin A administered to the child by multiplying the amount of vitamin A in each drop by the number of drops given.75 units of vitamin A per drop * 2 drops = 150 units of vitamin ATherefore, the child would be administered 150 units of vitamin A.
