Question

An extra-strength aspirin contains 0.500 g of aspirin. how many grains is this? (1grain=64.8mg)

Answer 1

By unit conversion, the aspirin contains 7.72 grains.

We need to know about unit conversion to solve this problem. The unit conversion can be used to convert a unit to another unit. It can be defined as

a = xb

where a is unit a, b is unit b and x is the constant of conversion.

From the question above, we know that

m = 0.5 gram

unit conversion

(1 grain = 64.8 mg)

Convert the unit conversion to 1 mg

1 grain = 64.8 mg

1/64.8 grain = 64.8/64.8 mg

1 mg = 1/64.8 grain

Convert the aspirin mass to grain

m = 0.500 g

m = 0.5 x 10³ mg

m = 0.5 x 10³ x 1/64.8 grain

m = 7.72 grain
