How many aspirin tablets are needed for a 650 mg dose if each tablet is 325 mg?

• A. 1 tablet
• B. 2 tablets
• C. 3 tablets
• D. 4 tablets

Answer: (B)

To determine how many tablets are needed, divide the total dose by the amount each tablet provides: 650 mg ÷ 325 mg per tablet = 2. Since each tablet is 325 mg, two tablets give exactly 650 mg. One tablet would be 325 mg and three would be 975 mg, so two tablets is the correct amount.
