If a patient needs 75 mg of a medication and it comes in 25 mg tablets, how many tablets are needed?

To determine the number of 25 mg tablets needed to achieve a total dosage of 75 mg, the calculation involves dividing the desired dosage by the strength of each tablet.

The patient requires 75 mg of the medication, and each tablet contains 25 mg. The calculation is as follows:

75 mg (required dose) ÷ 25 mg (per tablet) = 3 tablets.

Thus, the correct conclusion is that the patient will need 3 tablets to meet the required dosage of 75 mg. Each tablet contributes to a portion of the overall requirement, and in this case, three tablets give the precise amount needed.
