Answer:

he can prepare 2000 capsules

Explanation:

Each capsule requires 0.007 gram of asprin.

To find number of capsules he can prepare we divide total grams by the grams of each capsule

Total number of capsules =
(total \ grams)/(grams \ of \ each \ capsule)

=
(14)/(0.007)=2000

he can prepare 2000 capsules
