Question

a patient is prescribed tigan capsules for vomiting. The drug is available in the form of 300.0 mg tigan/capsules ,and is administered in 4.0 doses/day of 1 capsule/dose. How many g Tigan does the patient recieve in 2.0 days?

Answer 1

The patient recieves 2.4 g Tigan in 2 days

Further explanation

In finding the conversion units, we can multiply and eliminate the same units so that we can get the desired quantity or unit.

In this case, it is expected that the number of Tigan is known in 2 days, so we just need to multiply the numbers that are known

`\tt =300(mg)/(capsules)* (1~capsules)/(dose)* 4.0(doses)/(day)* 2.0~days\\\\=300* 1* 4.0* 2.0~mg=2400~mg=\boxed{\bold{2.4~g}}`
