A patient needs to take 625 mg of ibuprofen twice daily. The pills in the bottle are each 250. mg. How many pills does the patient need to take each time she wants the 625 mg dosage? Assume that these pills are scored and can be cut in half if necessary.

Respuesta :

2.5; if the patient needs 625 mg and each pill is 250 mg- they would need take 2 for 500 mg and then cut one in half to add the extra 125 mg for 625 mg. or: (2)250+(1/2)250=625
Hope this helps!
two in a half pills needs to be taken each time twice daily so 5 pills per day
