Question

One stock bottle of medication contains 20 tablets: How many ablets are in stock if the current inventory is( 21)/(2) bottles?

Answer 1

To calculate the total number of tablets in stock, multiply the number of bottles (21/2) by the number of tablets in one bottle (20), resulting in 210 tablets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many tablets are in stock if the current inventory is 21/2 bottles and each bottle contains 20 tablets. To find the total number of tablets in stock, we multiply the number of bottles by the number of tablets per bottle.

Let's perform the calculation:

1. Multiply the number of bottles (21/2) by the number of tablets in one bottle (20).
2. This equals 21/2 x 20.
3. Converting 21/2 to a decimal gives us 10.5.
4. So, the calculation is 10.5 x 20.
5. The total number of tablets in stock is 210.
