Answer:


\boxed{\text{3600 mg}}

Explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the number of capsules

Marilyn takes 2 capsules per day


\text{No. of capsules} = \text{90 days} * \frac{\text{2 capsules}}{\text{1 day}} = \text{ 180 capsules}

Step 2. Convert capsules to milligrams

There are 20 mg in each capsule.


\text{No. of milligrams} = \text{180 capsules} * \frac{\text{20 mg}}{\text{1 capsule}} = \textbf{3600 mg}\\\\\text{Marilyn will take } \boxed{\textbf{3600 mg}} \text{ of Pirixocam}
