Thanks for all your help. This is homework I had to do, and I'm horrible at conversion problems so I wanted to ask other people to make sure my answers were either correct or incorrect before answering them. Thank you

7.5 mg/pound x 10 pounds = 75 mg
75mg / 5 mg/tablet = 15 tablets.
Answer is C

C. 15 tablets
10 x 7.5 = 75 mg.
Now divide by 5 mg per tablet:75 / 5 = 15 tablets.

If the dog weighs 10 lbs and you need to dose the dog at 7.5 mg/lb, then you need 10*7.5 = 75 mg/dose.
If the pill is only 5 mg, you need 75/5 = 15 tablets.

1 tablet dose = 5-mg
at 7.5mg/lb, a 10 lb dog needs 75mg
or 75/5 = 15 tablets
(C) is the answer

Whatever it is, 15 tablets sounds like a lethal dose. Are you trying to kill your dog?
