Answer 1

To determine the number of tablets you will give, you need to convert the order of Dymelor from grams to milligrams.

1 g = 1000 mg

So, 0.75 g = 0.75 * 1000 mg = 750 mg.

Now, divide the total milligrams in the order by the milligrams per tablet to find the number of tablets needed.

Number of tablets = Total milligrams in the order / Milligrams per tablet

Number of tablets = 750 mg / 500 mg

Number of tablets = 1.5 tablets

Since you cannot give half of a tablet, you would round up to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, you will give 2 tablets.
