If a service user is to take 2 tablets, 3 times per day, we can calculate the total number of tablets taken in one day first:
- Tablets per day = 2 tablets × 3 times = 6 tablets per day.
Now, to find out how many tablets they will take in 5 days:
- Total tablets in 5 days = 6 tablets per day × 5 days = 30 tablets.
Therefore, the service user will take a total of **30 tablets** in 5 days.
