    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Recommended dose

    21 mg per day for 6 weeks

    Now,

    1 week = 7 days

    Thus,

    number of days in 6 weeks = 6 * 7 = 42 days

    Therefore, the total dose = dose per days * number of days

    = 21 * 42 = 882 mg

    further,

    14 mg per day for 2 weeks

    Now,

    1 week = 7 days

    Thus,

    number of days in 2 weeks = 2 * 7 = 14 days

    Therefore, the total dose = dose per days * number of days

    = 14 * 14 = 196 mg

    further,

    7 mg per day for 2 weeks

    Now,

    1 week = 7 days

    Thus,

    number of days in 6 weeks = 2 * 7 = 14 days

    Therefore, the total dose = dose per days * number of days

    = 7 * 14 = 98 mg

    Hence, the total dose = 882 + 196 + 98 = 1176 mg

    also,

    1 g = 1000 mg

    thus,

    1176 mg = 1.176 grams

    total quantity received during this course is 1.176 grams
