Question

A patient needs to take 875mg twice daily The pills in the bottle are each 250mg How many pills does she wants to take 875mg

Answer 1

`3.5` pill need to taken for completing dosage of
`875` mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Total dosage of medicine to be taken in a day

`= 2 * 875 \\= 1750`mg

Total weight of one pill
`= 250` mg

Number of pills required is equal to total dosage of medicine divided by the weight of one pill.

Hence,

Number of pills

`= (875)/(250) \\= (175)/(50) \\= (35)/(10) \\= 3.5`
