    498.95 ml of formula per day

    Explanation:

    Baby body requirement of copper per day = 80.0. μg per Kg

    Copper content of formula = 0.48 μg/mL.

    Mass of baby = 6.60 lb

    1 lb = 0.4536 Kg

    6.6 lb = 2.9937 Kg

    Therefore baby needs

    80μg/Kg/day * 2.9937 Kg = 239.5μg/day of formula

    But formula contains 0.48 μg/mL that means baby needs

    (239.5 μg/day) : 0.48 μg/mL = 498.95 ml of formula per day

    498.95 ml/day
