A patient needs to take 625 mg of ibuprofen twice daily. The pills in the bottle are each 250. mg. How many pills does the patient need to take each time she wants the 625 mg dosage? Assume that these pills are scored and can be cut in half if necessary

The answer is 2 and 1/2 pills
250+250=500 which is two pills then half of 250 is 125 which is half a pill
