Question

If one tablet of calcium pantothenate contains 0.5 gram, how much is contained in 5 3/4 tablets? How many tablets are needed to make up 2.9 grams?

Answer 1

x/ (5 3/4) = 0.5/1 = ratio of grams to tablets

x= (23/4)(1/2) = 23/8 = 2 7/8 grams in 5 3/4 tablets

t/2.9 = 1/.5 =2/1 = ratio of tablets to grams

t =2.9(2) = 5.8 tablets have 2.9 grams
