Answer:

60 pills!

Step-by-step explanation:

First notice that the pills are 30 mg and you need 60 mg, so you will need to take 2 pills every 4 hours.

Now you need to understand that there are 24 hours in a day, 24/4=6. Therefore, you need to take 2 pills 6 time a day! That would mean you take 12 pills a day.

12 pills a day for 5 days is 60 pills. (12 pills x 5 days = 60 pills). Priya should receive 60 pills!
