Question

Jerome is a Pharmacy Technician that filled a prescription that used 1/4 of a bottle of ibuprofen. How many capsules did Jerome use for the prescription if there are 1000 capsules in each bottle? Write an equation and solve.

Answer 1

The equation for this can be written as

`y=(1)/(4)x`

Where y is the total number of capsules used and x is the number of capsules per bottle. If the number of capsules per bottle is 1000, we can write the answer to this as:

`250=(1000)/(4)`

The final answer is 250.
