Answer:
If each tablet contains 1.5 grains of aspirin, and the patient takes 2 tablets every six hours, we can calculate the total amount of aspirin taken in 24 hours.
The patient takes 2 tablets every 6 hours, so in 24 hours, they will take \( \frac{24 \text{ hours}}{6 \text{ hours/tablet}} \times 2 \text{ tablets} = 8 \) tablets.
Each tablet contains 1.5 grains of aspirin, so the total amount of aspirin taken in 24 hours is \( 8 \text{ tablets} \times 1.5 \text{ grains/tablet} = 12 \) grains.
Therefore, the patient will take 12 grains of aspirin in 24 hours.
