Question

A vitamin C tablet contains 1/40 of a gram of vitamin C. You take 1&1/2 tablets Evry day. How many grams of vitamin C do u take evryday?

Answer 1

Answer:

Either 3/80 grams or 0.0385 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

1 tablet = 1/40 of a gram

1/40 of a gram = 1 ÷ 40 = 0.025 grams

1 tablet = 0.025 grams

1.5 tablets = x

1/1.5 = 0.025 / x                  Cross multiply

x*1 = 0.025 * 1.5                  Combine the factors

x = 0.0375 grams                Convert to a fraction

0.0375 = 3/80
