Aspirin: A bottle of maximum-strength aspirin contains 90 tablets. Each tablet contains 500 mg of aspirin. How many total grams of aspirin are in this bottle?There are ? grams of aspirin in the bottle.

Answer 1

Bottle: 90 tablets

Tablet: 500 mg of aspirin (or 0.5 g)

To calculate the total amount of grams of aspirin, we take the product of the number of tablets and the amount of mg of aspirin on each tablet:

`Total=90\cdot0.5g=45g`

There are 45 g of aspirin in the bottle.
