In this case, it tells us how much iron is in a single tablet. If one iron supplement tablet contains 65 milligrams of iron, then the equality is written as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 tablet = 65 mg iron<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means every time someone takes one tablet, they are consuming 65 milligrams of iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conversion factors<\/strong> are ratios that are mathematically equal to 1. They allow conversion between units without changing the actual value. Using the equality above, two conversion factors can be formed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first conversion factor, 65\u00a0mg\u00a0iron1\u00a0tablet\\frac{65\\ \\text{mg iron}}{1\\ \\text{tablet}}, is used when converting tablets into milligrams of iron. For example, if a person takes 3 tablets, this factor can be used to find how much iron they consumed: 3\u00a0tablets\u00d765\u00a0mg\u00a0iron1\u00a0tablet=195\u00a0mg\u00a0iron3\\ \\text{tablets} \\times \\frac{65\\ \\text{mg iron}}{1\\ \\text{tablet}} = 195\\ \\text{mg iron}<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The second conversion factor, 1\u00a0tablet65\u00a0mg\u00a0iron\\frac{1\\ \\text{tablet}}{65\\ \\text{mg iron}}, is used when converting milligrams of iron into the number of tablets. For example, if a person needs 130 mg of iron: 130\u00a0mg\u00a0iron\u00d71\u00a0tablet65\u00a0mg\u00a0iron=2\u00a0tablets130\\ \\text{mg iron} \\times \\frac{1\\ \\text{tablet}}{65\\ \\text{mg iron}} = 2\\ \\text{tablets}<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These tools help in dosage calculations, which are crucial in healthcare and pharmacy settings to ensure safe and effective use of medications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write an equality and two conversion factors for one tablet of the iron supplement.
