Answer: The number of tablets that can be made for the given mass of aspirin is 14938

Explanation:

We are given:

Total mass of aspirin = 1.21 kg = 1210000 mg    (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000000 mg)

Mass of aspirin in 1 tablet = 81 mg

To calculate the number of tablets, we divide the total mass of aspirin to the mass of aspirin in 1 tablet, we get:

[tex]\text{Number of tablets}=\frac{\text{Total mass of aspirin}}{\text{Mass of aspirin in 1 tablet}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Number of tablets}=\frac{1210000mg}{81mg}=14938.3\approx 14938[/tex]

Hence, the number of tablets that can be made for the given mass of aspirin is 14938

14938 low dose aspirin tablets can be made from 1.21kg aspirin.

CONVERSION FACTOR:

  • The mass of aspirin is given as 1.21kg and we were asked to determine the number of low dose aspirin tablets weighing 81mg each that can be made from it.

  • First, we need to make both measurements equal. The conversion factor of kg and mg is as follows:

Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000000 mg

Hence, 1.21kg = 1.21 × 1000000

= 1210000 mg

  • Hence, the number of low dose aspirin tablets that can be made from 1210000mg of aspirin is calculated as follows:

= 1210000 ÷ 81

= 14938.27

  • Approximately, 14938 low dose aspirin tablets can be made from 1.21kg of aspirin.
