Re: Math Problem please help!!!! for job
To understand the problem better, you might try moving the decimal points 2 places. If you apply this to both sides of the problem you get the same answer. For example
Drug Strength
0.125=12.5
0.25=25
0.5=50
Problems
0.0625 mg=6.25
0.1875 mg=18.75
1 mg=100
0.375=37.5
Answer
6.25 is 1/2 of 12.5 so you need 1/2 tablet of 0.125
18.75 is 1 and 1/2 of 12.5 so you need 1&1/2 tablet of 0.125
100 is 2 of 50 so you need 2 of 0.5
37.5 is (1) of 25 and (1) of 12.5 so you need (1) 0.25 and (1) .0125
I hope this helps and doesn't confuse you more.
