Question

A box contains $6$ strips having $12$ capsules of $400mg$ medicine in each capsule.Find the total in grams of medicine in $32$ such boxes.

Answer 1

Multiplying to find the total weight in one box

Number of strips in each box $=6$

Number of capsules in $1$strips $=12$

Weight of medicine in each capsule $=400mg$

Therefore weight of medicine in one box $=6\times 12\times 400$

$=28,800$ $mg$

Weight of medicine in $32$ such boxes $=32\times 28800$

$=921,600$$mg$

Therefore weight in grams $=\frac{921600}{1000}$ $=921.6grams$ $\left(as1g=1000mg\right)$

Hence the weight of all the medicine in the box is $921.6grams$
