Question

7. A pharmacist counts 24 tablets and put them into a bottle. Each tablet weighs 1/4 of a gram and the weight on the
bottle is 112 1/2 gram. What is the total weight?​

Answer 1

Total weight is 118.5 gram

Solution:

Given that,

Total tablets = 24

Each tablet weighs 1/4 of a gram

$Weight\ of\ 1\ tablet = \frac{1}{4}\ gram\\\\Therefore\\\\Weight\ of\ 24\ tablet = \frac{1}{4} \times 24\ gram\\\\Weight\ of\ 24\ tablet = 6\ gram$

From given,

$\text{Weight of bottle } = 112\frac{1}{2} = 112.5\ gram$

What is the total weight?​

Total weight = weight of 24 tablets + weight of bottle

Total weight = 6 + 112.5

Total weight = 118.5

Thus total weight is 118.5 gram
