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.Can you explain if possible

Answer 1

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

Then,
weight of 1 strip= 12×500= 6000
And, weight of 1 box = 5×6000=30000 

therefore, weight of 32 such box=32 × 30000=96000 mg = 960000/1000 g= 960 g

Answer 2

No. of strips = 5
No. of capsules in each strip = 12
Therefore, total capsules = 60

Weight of 1 capsule = 500mg
Therefore weight of 60 capsules = 500×60
=30000mg
30gm


Therefore weight of 32 such boxes then weight is =
=30×32 mg
= 960 gm
