Hello!

First you have to put the horses weight into grams

There are 1000 kilograms in a gram

Multiply the horse weight by 1000 to get its weight in grams

500 * 1000 = 500000g

Divide the weight of the horse by the weight of the spider

500000 / 1 = 500000

The answer is 500,000 spiders

Hope this helps!
