1.A patient needs 2.10×10−2g of a sulfa drug. There are 8.00mg tablets in stock. How many tablets should be given?

Really need help with this! :/
Thanks

it's 10^-2g

Also this please-

The specific gravity of a vegetable oil is 0.85. What is its density?
How do I figure it out?

I'm confused. If the question is 10^-2g that is 0.01g = 10 mg.

I think 1 tablet will do it although that isn't 10 mg BUT you don't want to overdose.

To determine the number of tablets that should be given, we need to calculate how many tablets are required to achieve a dosage of 2.10×10−2g.

First, let's convert 2.10×10−2g to milligrams (mg), as the tablets are measured in milligrams.

To convert grams to milligrams, we multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 milligrams in a gram.

2.10×10−2g * 1000 = 21 mg

Now that we have the dosage in milligrams, we can calculate the number of tablets needed by dividing the dosage by the dosage per tablet.

Number of tablets = Dosage (mg) / Dosage per tablet (mg)

Number of tablets = 21 mg / 8.00 mg

Number of tablets ≈ 2.625

Since we cannot have a fraction of a tablet, we round up to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, the patient should be given 3 tablets.
