How many tablets are involved in a 3-gram transaction of Pseudoephedrine sulfate 60mg?

31 tablets
62 tablets
65 tablets
195 tablets

The correct answer is: 65 tablets

To determine how many tablets are involved in a 3-gram transaction of Pseudoephedrine sulfate 60mg, we first need to convert grams to milligrams, as the tablet strength is given in milligrams. A 3-gram quantity is equivalent to 3,000 milligrams (since 1 gram equals 1,000 milligrams). Each tablet of Pseudoephedrine sulfate contains 60mg. Therefore, to find the number of tablets in 3,000mg, you would divide the total milligrams by the milligrams per tablet: 3,000 mg ÷ 60 mg/tablet = 50 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer should indicate that there are 50 tablets involved in a 3-gram transaction of Pseudoephedrine sulfate 60mg. If 65 tablets were considered, that would imply a total of 3,900mg of Pseudoephedrine sulfate, which exceeds the specified 3 grams and wouldn't be accurate for a transaction of that precise amount.
