Answer 1

Answer: 700.067 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The pharmacist uses 67mg, 100g and 0.6 kg of drug to compound 3 separate prescription.

We know that 1 gram= 1000 milligram

and 1 kilogram = 1000 grams

Then, By UNITARY METHOD, $\text{1 mg}=\dfrac{1}{1000}\text{ gram}$

Now, We convert each amount of drug into grams as ,

$67\ mg=67\times\dfrac{1}{1000}\ g\\\\=0.067\text{ g}$

AND

$0.6\ kg=0.6\times100=60\text{ g}$

Now, the total drug used by Pharmacist (in grams) = $0.067+100+600=700.067\ g$

Hence, Pharmacist used 700.067 g of total drug.
