1

Problem

A pharmaceutical company needs to fill 5,000 capsules, each containing 150 mg of a particular medicine. How many grams of the medicine, in total, will they need?

2

Step

First, find the total weight in milligrams:

\$"Total weight" = 5,000 "capsules" times (150 "mg")/("capsule")\$

3

Step

After simplification we get

Total weight = 750,000 mg

4

Step

To convert milligrams to grams

1 g = 1000 mg

5

Step

\$750,000"mg" times (0.001"g")/"mg" = 750"g"\$

6

Step

Therefore, the pharmaceutical company will need 750 grams of the medicine in total to fill 5,000 capsules.
