Look at the shape of the bottle again and work out how to find the right dose for Dr Schrader.
Correct
That's right!
- US Version
You can turn the bottle left or right and it will still work. Looking at the diagram, you can see that a diagonal line like the one shown divides the long rectangle into two. Since the rectangle makes up 2/5 of the medicine, halving it creates just the right amount!
- UK Version
You can rotate the bottle left or right and get the same result. Just make sure the medicine reaches the line you drew.
Looking at the diagram, you can see that a diagonal line like the one shown divides the rectangle into two. Since the rectangle makes up two fifths of the medicine, halving it gives you just the right amount!
