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
Answers
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:
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.
