answer:
check

Explanation:

Step1: Use the formula for maintenance fluid

For children weighing less than \(10\) kg, the formula is \(100\space mL/kg/day\).

Step2: Substitute the weight into the formula

Given weight \(m = 5\space kg\). The maintenance fluid \(V=100\times m\).
Substitute \(m = 5\) into the formula: \(V = 100\times5\).

$$V=500\space mL$$

Answer:

\(500\)
