A client drinks 8 oz of water. Which of the following is a correct conversion of the client's intake?

A. 1 pint
B. 4 Tbsp
C. 2 cups
D. 240 mL

Answer :

To solve the problem, we start by converting the 8 oz of water into milliliters (mL). We use the conversion factor:

[tex]$$
1 \text{ oz} = 29.5735 \text{ mL}
$$[/tex]

Multiply the number of ounces by the conversion factor:

[tex]$$
8 \text{ oz} \times 29.5735 \text{ mL/oz} \approx 236.588 \text{ mL}
$$[/tex]

In practice, this value is often rounded to a more convenient number, which is approximately 240 mL. Among the provided options, 240 mL is the closest correct conversion.

Thus, the correct answer is: 240 mL.
