Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To administer 2.75 milligrams using 50 milligram tablets, you would need $ \frac{2.75}{50} = 0.055 $ tablets. Since the question seems to have a mistake in its setup (as the provided options and the calculation do not align with a realistic scenario for medication dosage), the closest match to the correct mathematical operation (given the context likely involves a misunderstanding or typo) is option D, $5 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$ tablets, assuming the intended question involves a different calculation or context. However, based on the provided numbers, none of the options correctly match the calculation, indicating a possible error in the question setup.
