Answer:
14000 mg he did take for the two weeks
Explanation:
Try to reason this problem:
1 day has 24 hours
If our patient takes the pill every 6 hour, he will take 4 pills per day
1 week has 7 days
So, in 2 weeks we have 14 days.
As 4 pills are taken each day, at the end of the 2 weeks he would have taken 56 pills.
Let's make a rule of three:
1 pill weighs 0.250 g
Then 56 pills weigh (56 . 0.250) = 14 g
We convert g to mg
14 g . 1000mg / 1 g = 14000 mg
Answer:
He took 14000 miligrams of antibiotic in 2 weeks
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Mass of one pill = 0.250 grams = 250 miligrams
The patient takes one pill every 6 hours
Step 2: Calculate the number of pills per day
1 Day = 24 hours
Every 6 hours = 1 pill
Every 24 hours = 4* 1 pill = 4 pills / day
Step 3: Calculate the number of pills for 2 weeks
2 weeks = 14 days
This means in 14 days he takes 4*14 = 56 pills
Step 4: Calculate the mass of the pills
1 pill has a mass of 0.250 grams
56 pills have a mass of 56 * 0.250 grams = 14 grams
14 grams = 14000 miligrams
He took 14000 miligrams of antibiotic in 2 weeks
