Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

To find the number of tablets, we use the formula: Number of tablets = $\frac{\text{Prescribed dose}}{\text{Dose per tablet}}$

Step2: Substitute the values

Prescribed dose = $0.125$ mg, Dose per tablet = $0.25$ mg/tablet
So, Number of tablets = $\frac{0.125}{0.25}$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{0.125}{0.25} = 0.5$
