Question

Receive a dose of 0.5 teaspoon of medicine every 4 hours. If the bottle contains 36 doses, how many days will the medicine last?

Answer 1

12 days

Explanation:

One day = 24hours

Thus, the medicine will be taken 6times per day.

This gives 0.5 * 6 days = 3doses per day.

Bottle = 36doses

1 day = 3doses

The bottle will last for 36doses/3doses= 12 days

Answer 2

6 days

Explanation:

it is taken every 4 hours so 24/4=6 then 36 doses so 36/6= 6
