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.
Write the equation of the first train: x = 12t
Write the equation of the second train: y = -20t+72, assuming the train one is at the origins when t = 0.
Now solve the equation: 12t=-20t+72,
32t = 72, then t = 2.25 hours. The two train meet after 2.25 hours.
Now the equation of the <span>pigeon is like this: x = 48t.
</span>Then for t = 2.25, we get
<span>The Hyde has flown 108 km when the trains meet.</span>
