choose an answer
1 270 tablets
2 225 tablets
3 360 tablets
4 180 tablets

Explanation:

Step1: Understand bid frequency

Bid means twice - a - day.

Step2: Calculate tablets per day

The prescription is for $1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$ tablets each time and twice a day. So the number of tablets per day is $\frac{3}{2}\times2 = 3$ tablets.

Step3: Calculate for 90 - day supply

For a 90 - day supply, we multiply the number of tablets per day by the number of days. So the number of tablets is $3\times90=270$ tablets.

Answer:

1. 270 tablets
