Answer:
12,345 tablets may be prepared from 1 kg of aspirin.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem states that low-strength children’s/adult chewable aspirin tablets contains 81 mg of aspirin per tablet. And asks how many tablets may be prepared from 1 kg of aspirin.
Since the problem measures the weight of a tablet in kg, the first step is the conversion of 81mg to kg.
Each kg has 1,000,000mg. So
1kg - 1,000,000mg
xkg - 81mg.
1,000,000x = 81
x = 0.000081kg
Each tablet generally contains 0.000081kg of aspirin. How many such tablets may be prepared from 1 kg of aspirin?
1 tablet - 0.000081kg
x tablets - 1kg
0.000081x = 1
x = 12,345 tablets
12,345 tablets may be prepared from 1 kg of aspirin.
Answer:
The original piece of wood is 108 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given ratio, the shortest is of the ratio 5 and the longest is of the ratio 7
Let the original piece of wood be x
so the sum of the ratios will be;
5 + 6 + 6 + 7 = 24
the shortest length would be 5/24 * x
= 5x/24
the longest will be 7/24 * x = 7x/24
From the question;
7x/24 -5x/24 = 9
(7x-5x) = 24(9)
2x = 24(9)
x = (24 * 9)/2
x = 108 cm
28x + 44y = 964.40
21x + 33y = 723.30
Let's multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by -4
84x + 176y = 3857.6
-84x - 132y = -2893.2
Add the equations together.
0 + 44y = 964.4
Simplify
44y = 964.4
Divide both sides by 44
y = 964.4/44
Since we have the value of y, let's plug 964.4/44 into y for the first equation.
28x + 44(964.4/44) = 964.40
Simplify the left side
28x + 964.4 = 964.4
Subtract 964.4 from both sides
28x = 0
Divide both sides by 0
x = 0
In conclusion,
y = 964.4/44
x = 0
