A drug company has just manufactured 50.0 kg of acetylsalicylic acid for use in aspirin tablets. if a single tablet contains 500 mg of the drug, how many tablets can the company make out of this batch?

Here our first step is covert all weights to the same scale.

We have each tablet as 500 mg

So, we convert the 50 Kg into milligrams (mg)

1 Kg = 10^6 milligrams or 1,000,000 milligrams

1 Kg = 1,000,000 mg

Therefore, 50 Kg = 50 * 1,000,000 = 50,000,000 mg

Since each tablet contains 500 mg,

The number of tablets the company can make out of this batch = 50,000,000/500 = 100,000 tables

The number of tablets the company can make out of this batch = 100,000 tablets
