Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the given data

The label provides information about the drug (Biaxin granules, clarithromycin), its concentration (125 mg per 5 mL), storage instructions, and the usual pediatric dosage (15 mg/kg/day divided in 2 equal doses). But no information about the child's actual dosage or body - weight is given.

Step2: Identify missing data

To find the child's body - weight, we need to know the child's total daily dosage or some other related information. To find the recommended dosage per day and per dose, we need the body - weight. Since no such data is provided, we cannot answer the questions.

Answer:

There is not enough information provided in the problem to answer the questions. We need to know the child's daily - total dosage (or some other information to calculate the body - weight and dosages).
