Question

If 1gram=1000mg, how many 500mg tablets would you give to equal 2grams

Answer 1

We need to convert 2 grams to milligrams, first.

The conversion ratio is 1 gram = 1000 mg, so,

$2\text{grams}\times\frac{1000mg}{1\text{gram}}=2\times1000=2000mg$

Each tablet is 500 mg, so in 2000 mg, there will be,

$\frac{2000}{500}=4\text{tablets}$

Answer4 tablets
