552 tabs? That seems low, are we sure about the math?

I think I saw a question like this where we had to find the limiting factor. I hope I can remember how to apply that here!

I feel like the total weight of the drugs is key to figuring out how many tabs we can make. I just can’t recall the exact math.

I remember we practiced a similar question about converting weights and calculating total dosage, but I’m not sure about the conversions here.

I think we need to convert everything to grams first, right? I hope I remember how to do that correctly!

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is important, but I can't remember if that's the same as the data loss metric. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about the duration for Azure AD sign-in logs. I'll have to review the information on that.
