Question

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

• A. 960 g
• B. 940 g
• C. 320g
• D. 920 g

Answer 1

The correct option is A 960 g

Weight of medicine in each capsule $=500mg=0.5g$

[$1g=1000ml$]

No. of capsule in a strip $=12$

$\therefore$ Weight of each strip $=$ $12\times 0.5=6g$

No, of strip in a box $=5$

$\therefore$ Weight of medicine in a box $=$ $5\times 6=30g$

Total no. of boxes $=32$

$\therefore$ Weight of medicine in $32$ boxes $=$$32\times 30g$

$=960g$

Thus, Total weight of medicine is $960g$
