Question

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

Given,

• 1 box contain  5 strip.
• 1 strip= 12 capsules 
• 1 capsule= 500 mg

Then,

• Weight of 1 strip = 12 × 500 = 6000 mg
• Weight of 1 box = 5 × 6000 = 30000 mg 

Therefore,

Weight of 32 such box = 32 × 30000

⇒ Weight = 96000 mg

⇒ Weight = 960000/1000 g

$\boxed{\bold{\therefore{Weight= 960\:g}}}$

Answer 2

Answer: 960

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

1 box contain  5 strip.

1 strip= 12 capsules

1 capsule= 500 mg

Then,

Weight of 1 strip = 12 × 500 = 6000 mg

Weight of 1 box = 5 × 6000 = 30000 mg

Therefore,

Weight of 32 such box = 32 × 30000

⇒ Weight = 96000 mg

⇒ Weight = 960000/1000 g

total weight = 960 grams
