Answer 2

1 tablet and a half.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mg is equivalent to 1/60gr

or

1 gr is equivalent to 60 mg.

Since you need to give 1/4 gr of morphine sulfate, you need to give 1/4 of 60mg. If you will calculate that, you will need to give 15 mg of morphine sulfate. Since the tablets come in 10 mg, you will need to give 1 tablet and a half.

You can also compute it this way:

`(1)/(4)gr* (60mg)/(1gr) = (60mg)/(4)=15mg`

`15mg* (1 tablet)/(10mg) = 1.5 tablets`
