    Mr. Anderson received a total of 45.25 g of a medication over 5 days. He received 4 doses per day. How much medication per dose did he receive? (round to nearest hundredth)

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Calculate the total number of doses the patient received. Total doses = 4 doses/day × 5 days = 20 doses. Total amount of medication received = 45.25 g. Calculate the amount of medication per dose. Amount per dose = Total amount (g) / Total number of doses = 45.25 g / 20 doses = 2.2625 g. Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. = 2.26 g.
