Answer 1

(1)

Available :

Each 10ml of Carafate contains 400mg

Order :

1200mg p.o. Carafate

as we ordered 3times more drug then available

so

400mg carafate in 10ml

3*400mg carafate in 3*10ml

so 1200mg carafate in 30ml

{as we know that 30ml is equal to 1oz (ounce)}

so 1200 mg carafate is equal to 1 oz

(2)

Available :

Each 100 mg Vibramycin is available in each 5ml

Order :

200 mg Vibramycin in every (q) 12 Hours(h)

ordered Vibramycin is 2 times then available Vibramycin

so 2*100 mg Vibramycin is available in each 2*5 ml

or we can say 200 mg Vibramycin is available in each 10ml

{ as we know that 5 ml is equal to 1tsp or 1 teaspoon }

so we can say that 200 mg Vibramycin is available in each 2tsp ( 2*5ml = 2tsp)
