Question

If a doctor prescribes 200 mg of a medication every 4 ​hours, how many grams of the medication would a patient receive in one​ day?

the patient should receive how many grams in one day?

PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answer 1

1.2 grams

Explanation:

There are 24 hours in one day.

Therefore, if the medication is to be taken every 4 hours, the patient receives:

• 24 ÷ 4 = 6 doses in one day

Given that the doctor prescribes 200 mg of medication every 4 hours, the amount in milligrams that the patient will receive in one day is:

• 200 mg × 6 doses = 1200 mg

There are 1000 milligrams in one gram.

Therefore, to convert milligrams to grams, divide by 1000:

• 1200 mg ÷ 1000 = 1.2 g

Therefore, the patient should receive 1.2 grams of medication in one day.

Answer 2

1.2 grams (or) 1200 mg per day

Explanation:

The amount needed for 1 hour,

→ 200 mg ÷ 4 hour

→ 200 ÷ 4

→ 50 mg

Patient will receive in one day is,

→ 1 day = 24 hours

→ 50mg × 1 day

→ 50 × 24

→ 1200 mg

Converting mg into grams,

→ 1 g = 1000 mg

→ 1200 mg

→ 1200 ÷ 1000

→ 1.2 grams

Hence, the answer is 1.2 grams.
