The doctor ordered a dose of medicine to be 300mg, but it is only available in 50mg tablets. How many tablets is the correct dosage?

  1. 4 tablets

  2. 6 tablets

  3. 8 tablets

  4. 10 tablets

The correct answer is: 4 tablets

To determine the number of 50mg tablets needed to achieve a total dosage of 300mg, you start by dividing the total required dose by the dosage per tablet. In this scenario, you need to administer 300mg of medication, and each tablet contains 50mg. So, the calculation would be: 300mg (total dose needed) รท 50mg (per tablet) = 6 tablets. Since this demonstrates how to correctly calculate the number of tablets needed based on the available dosage, it shows that the correct answer is, in fact, 6 tablets. Therefore, the appropriate conclusion is that to fulfill a 300mg dosage with 50mg tablets, you would need 6 tablets.
