@cphtwithms.jalyn: As a retail pharmacy technician, this might be the exact type of math you’ll need to perform! 🦓#pharmacytechnician #StudyTips #PTCEprep #certified #pharmacymath
me working it out
250ml÷5ml=50ml
50ml×200mg=10000mg
10000mg÷500mg=20 tablets
I always have done math steps differently but get the same answer. This is why I like pharmacy tho because nobodies yelling at me that it's wrong when the result is the exact same

Zorrii :
this is so convoluted though?
200mg/5mL = 40mg/mL
250mL x 40mg/ml = 10,000mg
10,000mg / 500mg/tablet = 20 tablets

As a retail pharmacy technician, you’re never going to use this in the field. You may need it for the exam depending on what exam you take, but you’ll never need it if you’re working in a retail setting. Compounding yes. Retail no. Retail pharmacies no longer compound.

10+ years of working pharmacy as a pharmacist and this is not as common as you would think.

20 tablets? I worked that out in a very unconventional way. 250ml divide by 5ml is 50 so times 200mg by 50 for 10,000 then divide by 500mg and you get 20 tablets.
This was a long way of explaining it…. 500mg x 5mL =2500 \ 200 = 12.5mL. 250mL \ 12.5mL=20 tabs. Easy peasy.

200mg in every 5 ml. So 250ml divided by 5ml = 50ml. So now, 50ml x 200mg = 10,000mg. Then take 10,000mg divided by your 500mg tabs = 20 (500mg) tabs required. Canadian pharmacy tech 8 years… just trying to break it down in a simpler way to make it make sense for others. Your way is good but way more complicated than most need

I always use dimensional analysis for these problems, so I’ll get something like 250ml x 200mg/5ml x 1 tablet/500mg, when you plug whole thing into calculator and cancel out the units you get 20 tablets

This might be on the technician exam, but as a pharmacist of 13 years, I’d NEVER expect a technician to know how to do this math.

(200mg x250ml)/5. =10 000mg then 10 000mg / 500mg=20 tablets

I like to use 1s so I don’t have to use large numbers so… 200mg/5ml=40 mg/mL then I multiply and 40mg/1ml by 250 getting the 10,000 then divide by 500mg tabs

Seeing everyone doing it differently is so cool😭. I do 200mg/5ml =X/250ml, then I cross multiply (250ml x 200mg/5Xml), the mls cancel out and I get 10,000mg. There’s 20 500mgs in 10,000mg (10,000mg/500mg =20) so the answer is 20

250÷5=50
50×200=10,000
10,000÷500=20 tablets

I did 500*5/200 = 12.5 and then 250/12.5 = 20.
