I thought 10ml syringes are measured in 0.2 ml increments?

If I need to administer liquid Tylenol and the dose to be administered is 9.7ml how would you correctly administer this dose? Would you have to use two syringes?

For pediatric math problems are ml, mcg, mg, and kg rounded to the nearest tenth or hundredth for the final answer?

For pediatric oral medications such as Tylenol is the ml to be given rounded to nearest tenth or hundredth ml? Example 4 yr old patient 32 lbs ordered Tylenol 15mg/kg available Tylenol 160mg/5ml how many ml to administer? I would answer give 6.8ml is that correct?

I've been doing some pediatric safe dosage range questions and in my book the weight is first converted to kg and rounded to the nearest 10th then you proceed with the math problem. This is the way we were taught in school. While reading some other books it said to round pediatric weight to nearest hundredth. And other books the weight is not rounded at all. So is it correct to round pediatric weight to nearest 10kg then proceed with math problem?
