Question

choose a method of calculation dosage and complete the following dosage calculation.
order: 1.50 gram
have: 1000 milligrams per tablet
give: ________

Explanation:

Step1: Convert grams to milligrams

Since \(1\) gram \( = 1000\) milligrams, for \(1.50\) grams, we have \(1.50\times1000=1500\) milligrams.

Step2: Calculate the number of tablets

Let \(x\) be the number of tablets. We know that each tablet has \(1000\) milligrams. Using the formula \(x=\frac{\text{Desired dose (mg)}}{\text{Dose per tablet (mg)}}\), substituting the values: \(x = \frac{1500}{1000}=1.5\)

Answer:

\(1.5\) tablets
