Question

A bottle of hydrochlorothiazine contains 80 tablets. If each tablet contains 10 milligrams of the active ingredient, how many grams of the active ingredient are in the bottle?

Answer 1

Hi!

We will solve this simply by multiplying these two numbers:

80 * 10 = 800mg

1 g = 1000 mg

800 mg = 0,8 g

Answer 2

0.8 g

Step-by-step explanation:

If each tablet has 10 mg, then 80 tablets will have 80×10 mg = 800 mg.

"milli" is a prefix meaning 1/1000, so 800 mg = 800/1000 g = 0.8 g.
