Question

A patient needs to take 875mg twice daily The pills in the bottle are each 250mg How many pills does she wants to take 875mg

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.5$ pill need to taken for completing dosage of $875$ mg

Explanation:

Total dosage of medicine to be taken in a day

$= 2 * 875 \\= 1750$mg

Total weight of one pill $= 250$ mg

Number of pills required is equal to total dosage of medicine divided by the weight of one pill.

Hence,

Number of pills

$= \frac{875}{250} \\= \frac{175}{50} \\= \frac{35}{10} \\= 3.5$
