Answer: 2 tablets of conjugated estrogen must be given daily.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of conjugated estrogen per day prescribed by doctor = 1.25 mg

Mass of the 1 conjugated estrogen tablet = 0.625 mg


\text{Number of tablets}=\text{amount prescribed}{\text{Mass of one tablet}}=(1.25 mg)/(0.625 mg)=2 tablets

2 tablets of conjugated estrogen must be given daily.
