Question

A box contains 5 strips having 12 capsules of 500 mg medicine in each capsule. Find the total weight in grams of medicine in 32 such boxes.

Answer 1

Quantity of medicine in one capsule = 500 mg

∴ Quantity of medicine in 12 capsules or 1 strip = (500 × 12) mg = 6000 mg = 6 g

Quantity of medicine in 5 strips or 1 box = (6 × 5) g = 30 g

Quantity of medicine in 32 boxes = (30 × 32) g = 960 g
