Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

no. of boxes = 50.

no. of strips = 8

no. of capsules = 15

hence total no. of capsules = 50*8*15 = 6000

weight of medicine in 1 capsule = 250mg

hence total weight in 6000 capsules = 250 x 6000= 1500,000mg = 1500g

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The total weight of medicine in such 50 boxes is 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

In a box, there are 'p' strips (p = 8)

In every strip there are 'q' capsules (q = 15)

And every capsule weighs 'w' grams(w = 250 mg)

To find,

The weight (W) of 50 boxes.

calculation,

First, we try to calculate what is the weight of 1 strip(W1)

i.e. W1 = weight of one capsule × number of capsules present in a strip.

W1 = 250 mg × 15 capsules

⇒ W1 = 3750 mg

Secondly, we try to calculate the weight of 1 box containing 8 strips (W2):

i.e. W2 = weight of 1 strip × no. of strips

⇒ W2 = 3750 mg × 8 strips

⇒ W2 = 30,000 mg

Finally, we try to calculate the weight of 50 boxes.(W)

i.e. W = weight of 1 box × no. of boxes

⇒ W = W1 × 50

⇒ W = 30,000 × 50

⇒ W = 1,50,000 mg

⇒ W = 1500 g (As 1 gram = 1000 milligrams)

Therefore, the total weight of medicine in such 50 boxes is 1500. grams.
