your doctor prescribes you to take 400 milligrams of medicine every 8 hours.How many ounces of medicine do you take in one day ?

Question

if you yake 400 milligrams of medicine every 8 hours how many ounces of medicine do you take ?

 

Answer 1

Every 8 hours is 3 times per day.

400 mg times 3 = 1200 mg per day

There are 1000 mg per gram so divide 1200 by 1000 to get number of grams

 

(1200 mg)/(1000 mg/g) = 1.2 grams per day

 

The conversion factor for grams to ounces: 1 gram = 0.035274 ounces

 

1.2(0.035274) = 0.0423288 ounces
