Answer:

2.5 tablets

Explanation:

First thing to do, in dealing with this type of questions, is to make sure that the prescribed dose and the dose of the drug in a single tablet are expressed in the same units. Since that is the case here (both doses are in milligrams), we can proceed.

So, one tablet has 50 mg of the drug and we need to administer 125 mg. That basically comes down to the equation:

50mg • x = 125 mg

where x is the number of tablets.

Now, we can find x:

x = 125 / 50

x = 2.5

So we need to administer 2.5 50 mg tablets in order for a patient to recieve 125 mg dose.

otez555 [7]
The most interesting aspect of working with firearm evidence is finding out which type of firearm was used and inspecting the bullet and matching it to the archives of guns and bullets. However, the challenging part is tracing which person used the firearm and evidence and is the suspect of a crime. Also, tracing the movement of the bullet used from where it was shot and where it landed. It's very hard to know which person used the firearm as the end user.
