Answer: The answer is 56

Step-by-step explanation: If you do 4x2 because she takes 4 tablets twice a day which means she takes 8 tablets a day and if we do 8x7 because there are 7 days a week which means she take 56 tablets a week. If that makes any sense. c:

Hey!

Solution:

Multiply to find how many tablets Mary takes per day.

4 x 2 = 8 tablets per day.

Multiply by 7 to find how many tablets Mary takes in 7 days.

8 x 7 = 56 tablets in 7 days.

Answer:

Mary will take 56 tablets in 7 days!
