How many tablets are involved in a 9-gram transaction of Pseudoephedrine sulfate 60mg?

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 60mg, we can start by converting grams to milligrams. Since 1 gram equals 1,000 milligrams, 9 grams would be equivalent to 9,000 milligrams. Next, we need to find out how many 60mg tablets are contained in 9,000mg. This is done by dividing the total milligrams by the amount in each tablet: 9,000mg / 60mg per tablet = 150 tablets. However, upon reviewing the possible options, it seems that none of the provided answers correctly reflect this calculation. The actual calculations and reasoning would indicate that the answer does not align with the options given, suggesting the need to re-evaluate the formulation and possibly the referenced quantities in a practical context, as sometimes rounding or other formulations might come into play based on specific regulations or standards in different settings. In conclusion, while D is proposed as an answer, the mathematically derived number based on the calculations does not support this selection directly, and therefore requires further assessment regarding the context or adjustment in understanding the nature of the inquiry. It might indicate a misunderstanding of the potential question or other factors
