Question 188

Question. 188

A box has 5 strips, each with 12 capsules of 500 mg medicine. Find the total weight of medicine in grams in 32 such boxes.

Answer:

\(960\text{ g}\)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Detailed steps (very simple):

  1. Capsules in one strip: (12).

  2. Strips in one box: (5).

  3. Capsules in one box:

    (5 imes 12 = 60).

  4. Mass of one capsule: (500 ext{mg}).

  5. Mass of one box in mg:

    (60 imes 500 = 30{,}000 ext{mg}).

  6. Convert mg to g:

    (1000 ext{mg} = 1 ext{g})

    (30{,}000 ext{mg} div 1000 = 30 ext{g}).

  7. We have (32) boxes.

  8. Total mass for (32) boxes:

    (32 imes 30 ext{g} = 960 ext{g}).

Answer: (960 ext{g}).
