Question

If a patient purchases 2 pint bottles of an antacid and takes 2 tablespoonfuls every 6 hours, how many days will the antacid last?

Answer 1

2 pints are equal to 64 U.S tablespoons so with that in mind we can get our answer.

There is 24 hours in a day and 24 divided by 6 hours means that the patient is taking the antacid 4 times a day.

2 tablespoons multiplied by 4 is equal to 8 tablespoons a day.

8 tablespoons multiplied by 8 days gets us to our magic number of 64 which is equivalent to the amount of 2 pints.

Answer= 8 days
