A patient was instructed to take of a tablet before breakfast lunch and dinner for 10 days How many scored tablets should the patient expect to receive?

The patient should receive 15 scored tablets because the patient will take 1½ tablets per day or ½ a tablet * 3 = 1½ tablets per day. Since the patient is taking 1½ tablets per day, you would multiply the 1½ * 10=15.
