    Answer is 2

    Explanation:

    Calculate the dosage by converting grains to milligrams:

    1 gr/60 mg = 0.5 gr/X.

    X = 30 mg.

    Then, use the ratio-and-proportion method to determine the number of milliliters to administer:

    15 mg/1 ml = 30 mg/Y.

    Y = 30 mg x 1 ml/15 mg = 2 ml.
