Question

A patient receives 7.2 grams of medication daily. Tablets come in 0.8 gram dosages. How many tablets does the patient take daily.

Answer 1

Since the patient receives 7.2 grams daily

Since each tablet comes in 0.8 grams

Then to find the number of tablets divide 7.2 by 0.8

`\begin{gathered} N=(7.2)/(0.8) \\ N=(72)/(8) \\ N=9 \end{gathered}`

The patient takes 9 tablets daily
