There is some unnecessary information in the problem, first, it should be removed.

"The dosage of cough medicine for a child 4 to 6..."

"2 days"

Listing the age and days don't matter here, it's the rest of the problem that matters!

"1/2(a teaspoon) every 4 hours,"  This is one dose. Multiply 1/2 by five to see how many teaspoons are consumed.

1/2 x 5 = 2 1/2 (teaspoons)
