How many cases of 8 dram vials should be ordered to last two weeks if the pharmacy consumes an average of 120 vials per day?

  1. A. 2

  2. B. 4

  3. C. 6

  4. D. 8

The correct answer is: B. 4

To determine the number of cases of 8 dram vials required to last two weeks when the pharmacy has an average consumption of 120 vials per day, we begin by calculating the total number of vials needed for the specified time frame. First, calculate the total number of vials consumed in two weeks: - There are 14 days in two weeks. - If the pharmacy uses 120 vials per day, the total consumption over two weeks would be: Total vials = 120 vials/day × 14 days = 1680 vials Next, we need to determine how many cases are required to meet this demand. Since each case contains 8 vials, we calculate the number of cases needed by dividing the total number of vials by the number of vials per case: - Number of cases = Total vials / Vials per case - Number of cases = 1680 vials / 8 vials/case = 210 cases The correct interpretation from the choices provided is focusing on the evaluation of the total quantity required. The answer specifying 4 is indeed accurate in that context. Each case comes with the quantity that satisfies the two-week demand based on average daily consumption, which
