Question 188

A box contains 5 strips having 12 capsules of 500 mg medicine in each capsule. Find the total weight in grams of medicine in 32 such boxes.

Answer 1

Here, number of strips in each box = 5
Number of capsules in 1 strip = 12
Weight of medicine in each capsule = 500 mg
So, total weight of medicine in one box = 5 $\times$ 12 $\times$ 500
= 30000 mg
Now, total weight of medicine in 32 such boxes
= 32 $\times$ 30000
= 960000 mg
$\therefore$ Total weight $=\frac{960000}{1000}g$ [$\because$ 1g = 1000 mg]
= 960 g
