Answer:
The correct answer would be 93 milliliters.
The same can be explained with the help of the unitary method.
The volume of solution required for 1 kg of weight in one hour = 2.5 milliliters (given in the question).
Thus, the volume of the solution required for 37.3 kg of weight in one hour = milliliters
It comes out be 93.25 milliliters.
Thus, around 93 milliliters of the solution should be given to the child of weight 37.3 kg in one hour.
