If a pharmacy chain sold 85 million 500−mg tablets of aspirin, how many tons does this represent?

9.6 t

Explanation:

You want to convert tablets ⟶ tons

I would use the conversion sequence:

tablets ⟶ milligrams ⟶ grams ⟶ kilograms ⟶ pounds ⟶ tons

1 tablet = 500 mg                   Convert tablets to milligrams

Milligrams = 85 × 10⁶ × 500/1

Milligrams = 4.25 × 10¹⁰ mg

1000 mg = 1 g                         Convert milligrams to grams

Grams = 4.25 × 10¹⁰ × 1/1000

Grams = 4.25 × 10⁷ g

1000 g = 1 kg                           Convert grams to kilograms

Kilograms = 4.25 × 10⁷ ×1/1000

Kilograms = 4.25 × 10⁴ kg

I kg = 2.205 lb                         Convert kilograms to pounds

Pounds = 4.25 × 10⁴ × 1/2.205

Pounds = 1.93 × 10⁴ lb

1 t = 2000 lb                            Convert pounds to tons

Tons = 1.93 × 10⁴ × 1/2000

Tons = 9.6 t

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
