One particular drug is in many non -prescription medications, making it easy to get more than the 4 ,000 milligrams per day linked to health problems.
00:16
And the recommended 3 ,250 milligrams daily max.
00:22
If a painkiller contains 550 milligrams of the drug per pill and cold medicine contains 375 milligrams per pill, what is the maximum number of pain killer pills that should be taken in 24 hours? so for part a, this is the easy one.
00:44
We're just going to take the maximum recommended daily, which is our 3 ,250 milligrams.
00:57
And all we're going to do is divide this by the amount that is in the pain peel.
01:03
So that's going to be our 550 milligrams in the pain pill.
01:13
So when we put that in our calculator, we're going to get 5 .909.
01:25
So technically this would mean that if you take five, you're not going to go over, but if you take six, you're going to go over.
01:34
So depending on if you need to round the answer, to the certain amount of pills, it would be five pills, would be your max.
01:47
Six is too many.
01:49
Or if your answer can be just in this form, either one of those will work.
01:58
Okay, so now we're going to move on to part b, which asks if you take one painkiller pill per hour for two hours, what is the maximum number of cold medicine that should be taken for the remainder 24 hours.
02:16
So for this one, we know we have 550 milligrams per pain feel.
02:23
So go 550...
