    The patient can take 58.7904 ml of juice daily

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There is 500 mg of potassium in 1 cup (240 ml) of orange juice. The amount of potassium found in 240 ml of orange juice is 500 mg.

    Let us convert the patient body weight to kg.

    1 kg = 2.20462 Ib

    ? kg = 135 Ib

    cross multiply

    135/2.20462 = 61.2350427738 ≈ 61.24 kg

    The patient weight in kg is 61.24.

    The patient limits is 2 mg per kg of body weight per day from fruit juice. The patient limits with a weight of 61.24 kg will be 61.24 * 2 = 122.48 mg of potassium.

    500 mg of potassium is in 240 ml of orange juice.

    122.48 mg of potassium is? of ml of orange juice

    cross multiply

    ml of orange juice = (122.48 * 240) / 500

    ml of orange juice = 29395.2 / 500

    ml of orange juice = 58.7904 ml

    The patient can take 58.7904 ml of juice daily
