Question 720841: A physician prescribed 3g of medication per day for a patient. The medication comes in 600mg tablets. Determine the number of 600mg tablets the patient must take to achieve the daily dosage. The patient must take ______ tablets. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In units alone:
( g ) x ( mg/g ) = mg mg
You are asked for the number of tablets,
which does not have units.
( mg in required dose ) / ( mg / tablet ) = number of tablets
The patient must take 5 tablets
