Answer to Question 1

10 grams

Global Rationale: Grams/10 days = 1 g/1000 mg x 500 mg/dose x 2 doses/day x 10 days/ 1 . Multiply the numerations (1 x 500 x 2 x 10 = 10,000). Multiply the denominators (1000 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 1000). 10,000/1,000 = 10 grams.

Answer to Question 2

0.2 g/week

Global Rationale: g/week = 1 g/1000 mg x 200 mg/1 week. Multiply the numerators (1 x 200 = 200). Multiply the denominators (1000 x 1 =1000). 200/1000 = 0.2 g/week
