Question

a box contains 8 strips having 15 capsules of 250 mg medicine in each capsule. find the total weight in grams of medicines in 50 such boxes

Answer 1

The weight in grams of 50 such boxes is 4500 gms.

Given,

A box contains 8 strips having 15 capsules of 250 mg each.

To Find,

The total weight in grams of 50 such boxes.

Solution,

First, we will calculate the weight of one strip

Weight of one strip = 15*250 = 11250 mg

Now,

There are 8 strips in 1 box

So,

Weight of one box = 8*11250 = 90000 mg

Now, the weight of 50 such boxes will be

Weight of 50 boxes = 50*90000 = 4500000 mg.

Weight of 50 boxes in grams = 4500000/1000 g = 4500 grams.

Hence, the weight in grams of 50 such boxes is 4500 gms.

Answer 2

Answer:

1500 g

Step-by-step explanation:

number of capsules in one strip = 15 capsules

number of capsules in 8 strips = 15×8

=120 capsules

weight of each capsule =250 mg

weight of 120 capsules = 250 ×120

=30000 mg

weight of one box =30000 mg

weight of 50 such boxes = 30000 ×50

= 1500000 mg

1000mg = 1 g

1500000 mg= 1500000/1000

= 1500 g

ans. weight of medicines in 50 such boxes is 1500 g
