Is it 4-5 doses or 4 to 5 doses?
Subject: Is it 4-5 doses or 4 to 5 doses?

Quick question; I'm just getting back into the swing of things and I'm realizing my last employer really wasn't a stickler for anything.  Now I'm worried I'm gonna mess up at my new transcription job with something small.

Help plz!!
