How many tablets are involved in a 9-gram transaction of Pseudoephedrine sulfate 30mg?

1. 123 tablets

2. 130 tablets

3. 184 tablets

4. 195 tablets

The correct answer is: 195 tablets

To determine how many tablets are involved in a 9-gram transaction of Pseudoephedrine sulfate 30 mg, we first need to understand the weight of each tablet and convert grams to milligrams since the tablet strength is given in milligrams. Each Pseudoephedrine sulfate tablet has a strength of 30 mg. There are 1000 mg in a gram, so 9 grams is equivalent to 9000 mg (since 9 grams x 1000 mg/gram = 9000 mg). Next, we divide the total weight in milligrams by the strength of each tablet: 9000 mg ÷ 30 mg/tablet = 300 tablets. It appears there may have been a misunderstanding regarding identifying the correct answer based on the conversion. The exact calculation shows that there would be 300 tablets involved in a 9-gram transaction of Pseudoephedrine sulfate at a strength of 30 mg per tablet. If the intention was to find the weight or quantity based on a different context or requirement, clarifying that would help align with proper interpretation.
