Answer:

2 × 10⁵

Explanation:

The total mass of the drug, ibuprofen = 10 kg

Kilograms and grams are related as:

1 kg = 1000 g

Also,

Grams and milligrams are related as:

1 g = 1000 mg

So,

1 kg = 10⁶ g

Mass of the drug, ibuprofen = 10 × 10⁶ mg = 10⁷ mg

Given, mass of tablet = 50 mg

So, number of tablets = total mass / Mass of 1 tablet = 10⁷ mg / 50 mg = 2 × 10⁵

<u>Number of 50 mg tablets = 2 × 10⁵</u>

You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100

Km / hour would be a good choice.

The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.

Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.
