How many vial-days does a 5 mg vial give at 8 mg/mL on a weekly schedule?

Asked 13 Jul 2025Modified 13 months agoViewed 7.4k times

What I am working with: 5 mg · 8 mg/mL.

I have worked this out and I would like someone to find the error, because I suspect there is one.

My working so far, for the record, is below, and I am fairly sure the error is in the unit conversion rather than the algebra.

How many significant figures are actually justified here?
