Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information above , we can use a Rule of Three to first figure out how many mg the cat would need to ingest per day.

Now we see that the cat needs to take a daily dose of 22.5mg. Since the Tablets come at a strength of 10 mg per tablet then,

The cat would need to take 2.25 tablets per day. Since she needs to take the dose for the next 7 days then,

She would need to take approximately 16 tablets of medicine during the week .
