Question 1135398: You suddenly get sick on your vacation and end up in the hospital. The doctor orders
120 mg of medicine to be given twice a day. The nurse comes in with your first dose
and she gives you 6 tablets and tells you that there are 30 mg in each tablet. Is this the
correct dosage? If not, how many tablets should you get each time? How many tablets should you get each day?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The 1st dose should be 120 mg
( 30 mg / tablet ) x ( 4 tablets ) = 120 mg
-----------------
You should get 4 tablets for the 1st dose
and 4 tablets for the 2nd dose which is
8 tablets per day
