Question

Your medicine comes in pills with a strength of 1000 milligrams. How many pills would you need to take if you want a dosage of 1 gram?A) 0.25B) 0.5C) 1D) 2

Answer 1

C) 1

Step-by-step explanation

to solve this we need to convert from miligrams to grams, to do that, itiis necesary to know the equivalence

`1\text{ gr = 1000 miligrams}`

so

`(\frac{1\text{ gra}}{1000\text{ miligrams}})=1`

this way we can multiply the amount ( in miligrams ) by the fraction

hence

`\begin{gathered} 1000\text{ miligrams}\Rightarrow1000\text{ miligrams(}\frac{1\text{ gr}}{1000}\text{)}=1\text{ gram} \\ so \\ \text{the answer is 1 gram} \end{gathered}`

C) 1

I hope this helps you
