Question

A commercial package contains thirty-six 200-mg tablets of ibuprofen. How many kilograms of ibuprofen were

Answer 1

Answer: 0.0072 kilogram

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The mass of one tablet of ibuprofen =200  mg

Then, the mass of 36 tablets of ibuprofen =$36\times200$  mg

i.e. the mass of 36 tablets of ibuprofen =$7200$  mg

We know that 1 kilogram = 1000 grams

and 1 gram = 1000 milligram

Then, 1 kilogram = $1000,000$ milligrams

Then, $\text{1 mg}=\dfrac{1}{1000,000}\text{ kg}$

Now,  $\text{7200 mg}=\dfrac{7200}{1000,000}=0.0072\text{ kg}$

Hence, A commercial package contains 0.0072 kilogram of ibuprofen.
