Solution



Given:
    • A certain vitamin pill has 400 milligrams of magnesium
    • 1 gram = 1000 milligrams

To find:
    • The amount (gram) of magnesium present in a bottle of 500 vitamin pills

Approach and Working:
    • If 1 vitamin pill gas 400 milligrams of magnesium, then 500 vitamin pills will have 400 * 500 = 200000 milligrams = 200000/1000 grams of magnesium = 200 grams of magnesium

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Answer: B

D. 20,000
E. 200,000


If a certain vitamin pill has 400 milligrams of magnesium= 1*400 =400

For 500 Pills = 500*400 = 200000 milligrams

Question asks in terms of grams 1 gram = 1,000 milligrams

200000/1000= 200

Hence B
