Question

How many drahms areequivalent to 300 grains?

Answer 1

hello

to solve this question, we need to know how many grains is in 1 gram

$\begin{gathered} 1\text{grams}=15.43\text{grains} \\ \end{gathered}$

now let 300 grains be equal to x grams

$\begin{gathered} 1\text{grams}=15.43\text{grain} \\ \text{xgrams}=300\text{grains} \\ \text{cross multiply both sides and solve for x} \\ x\times15.43=1\times300 \\ 15.43x=300 \\ \text{divide both sides by 19.44} \\ \frac{15.43x}{15.43}=\frac{300}{15.43} \\ x=\frac{300}{15.43} \\ x=19.44 \end{gathered}$

300 grains will weigh 19.44g
