. A particular drug is supplied in 20 mg tablets. A 10 lb dog requires a 10-day supply at a dose of 10mg/lb every 24 hours. How many tablets should be sent home with the owner?
The dog is 10 pounds and it needs 10mg every 24 hours but the pill is 20 mg (double) so the owner needs 5 pills but needs to cut them in half to give to his dog. one half per day for 10 days = 5 whole pills
