Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Number of Capsules in each strip = 12

Weight of medicine in each capsule = 500 mg = 0.5g

∴ weight of medicine in each strip = 12 × 0.5 = 6g

Number of strips in each box = 5

∴ weight of each box = 6 × 5 = 30g

Hence, the total weight in grams of medicine in 32 such boxes

= 30 × 32 = 960 g
