4) You're working in a pharmacy and need to measure out the correct dosage of an old
medication for a customer. Between 1826 and 1971, apothecaries (a pharmacy, more or
less) used British units of minims, scruples, drachms, and ounces to measure the volume
of liquids. There are 20 minims in a scruple, 3 scruples in a drachm, 8 drachms in an
ounce, and 35.2 ounces in a litre. The prescription for the customer is 16 minims per
day for 28 days. (5 marks)
a) How many millilitres in a minim? (3 marks - 2 marks for work, 1 mark for correct
answer)
