Answer 1

113 ml of diluent must be added to prepare the solution

Water is recommended for reconstitution as a diluent

125 mg / 5 ml is the dosage strength of the reconstituted solution

The volume of medicine = required dose $\times$ available ml $\div$ available mg

                                       = 400 mg $\times$ 5 ml $\div$ 125 mg

                               = 16 ml

For an order of Amoxicillin 0.4gms (400mg) the oral suspension of 16 ml should be administered.
