No of tablets in the box= 5,00,000
Weight of each tablet= 5,00,000 x 10
= 50,00,000mg
If we want to change this directly to kg then check how many jumps it is taking from milli to kilo-
milli centi deci gram deca hecto kilo
It is taking 6 jumps so now we will follow the rule SBD ( Small to Big Divide )
Divide 50,00,000 by 10,00,000= 5kg
