A client is prescribed to receive 2 tablets of a medication four times a day. If the prescription bottle contains 60 tablets, how many days of medication does the client have in one prescription bottle?
1. 6 ½
2. 7
3. 7 ½
4. 8
3
Rationale 1: Days/bottle = 1 day/8 tabs x 60 tabs/1 bottle. Multiply the numerators (1 x 60 = 60). Multiply the denominators (8 x 1 = 8). 60/8 = 7.5 days.
