What is the volume of 30 minims in milliliters?

To convert minims to milliliters, it is important to understand the definition of a minim. A minim is a unit of volume that is used in pharmacology, equivalent to approximately 0.06161 milliliters. Therefore, to find the volume of 30 minims in milliliters, you multiply the number of minims by the conversion factor.

Calculating the volume:

30 minims × 0.06161 mL/minim = 1.8483 mL.

In many contexts, this result can be rounded to the nearest whole number, which is approximately 2 mL. This rounded result corresponds with the answer choice provided. This rounding is typically acceptable in pharmacological calculations where precision to the nearest mL is practical for dosing.
