Answer 2

Answer : The mass in kilograms of  100  pills is 0.078 kg.

Explanation :

First we have to convert the mass of one pill from 'mg' to 'kg'.

conversion used :

$1mg=10^{-6}kg$

So, $780mg=\frac{780mg}{1mg}\times 10^{-6}kg=780\times 10^{-6}kg$

Now we have to calculate the mass for 100 pills.

As, 1 pills has mass = $780\times 10^{-6}kg$

So, 100 pills has mass = $100\times 780\times 10^{-6}kg$

                                     = 0.078 kg

Therefore, the mass in kilograms of  100  pills is 0.078 kg.
