Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number.
The Correct Answer is ["8"]
Step 1: Convert weight: 44 ÷ 2.2 = 20
Step 2: Calculate single dose: 10 × 20 = 200
Step 3: Doses per day: 200 × 4 = 800

Correct Answer is ["0.5"]
Explanation
Ordered dose = 12.5 mcg
Supplied dose = 0.025 mg = 25 mcg
Number of tablets = Ordered dose ÷ Supplied dose
= 12.5 ÷ 25
= 0.5
Final Answer:0.5
Correct Answer is ["20"]
Explanation
Provided concentration: 125mg/5ml
So each ml has 125/5=25mg
Desired dose= 250mg twice a day
Desired dose per day= 250 x 2= 500mg
If 25mg=1ml
500mg= 500 x1/25= 20mls
