Question

How many 1/4 gram doses can be obtained from a 7 1/2 gram vial of medication?

Answer 1

30 gram doses

Explanation:

First, turn the fractions into decimals.

1/4 gram to .25 gram

7 1/2 gram to 7.5 gram

Then, divide 7.5 total grams by the .25 grams for each dose.

7.5/.25 = 30

Therefore, you can obtain 30 1/4 gram doses from a 7 1/2 gram vial of medication.
