The prescribed formula contains 200 calories/240 mL. How many mL of
the formula should the client receive to meet daily caloric goal? (Enter

⸻⸻⸻
Calculation:
• Step 1: Set up the proportion:
\frac{200 \text{ cal}}{240 \text{ mL}} = \frac{1800 \text{ cal}}{X
\text{ mL}}
• Step 2: Cross-multiply and solve for X:
200X = 1800 \times 240
200X = 432000
X = \frac{432000}{200} = 2160
,So, the client should receive 2160 mL of formula per day.
