To measure 2.75 mL on a syringe, look for the markings on the side. Typically, syringes are marked with lines at every 0.1 mL or 0.2 mL. Locate the 2.5 mL mark and count three small lines past it to reach 2.75 mL. Each line after 2.5 mL represents 0.1 mL, so three lines equal 0.3 mL, adding up to 2.8 mL. Accurately align the plunger to this mark for the precise dose.
