Answer 1

To find out how many tablets must be given, we need to convert the given dosage from grams to milligrams (mg) since the tablets are available in milligrams. First, we convert 0.2 grams to milligrams. So, we need to give 2.5 tablets.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many tablets must be given, we need to convert the given dosage from grams to milligrams (mg) since the tablets are available in milligrams.

First, we convert 0.2 grams to milligrams:

0.2 grams x 1000 mg/1 gram = 200 mg

So, we need to give 200 mg of tablets. Since each tablet is 80 mg, we divide 200 mg by 80 mg per tablet to find the number of tablets needed:

200 mg / 80 mg per tablet = 2.5 tablets

Therefore, we need to give 2.5 tablets.

Answer 2

2.5 tabs

Step-by-step explanation:

1 g = 1000 mg => 0.2 g = 200 mg

200 / 80 = 2.5 tabs
