Answer 1

Given :

A box contains 35 strips having 16 capsules of 400 MG medicine in each capsule

To find :

find the total weight in grams of medicine in 45 such boxes?

Solution:

No. of capsules in 1 strip = 16

No. of capsules in 35 strips = $16 \times 35 =560$

Weight of 1 capsule = 400 mg

Weight of 560 capsules = $400 \times 560=224000 mg$

1 mg = 0.001 grams

224000 mg= 224000 \times 0.001

224000 mg= 224 grams

Hence the total weight in grams of medicine in 45 such boxes is 224 grams
