1. Calculate how many containers can be administered without exceeding the limit:
\left\lfloor \frac{500}{75} \right\rfloor = 6
2. Determine the total units the patient will receive:
6 \times 75 = 450
Therefore, the patient should be administered 6 containers, which equals 450 units.
2. Determine the total units the patient will receive:
Therefore, the patient should be administered 6 containers, which equals 450 units.
