Pharmacists sometimes measure medicines in the unit of "grains," where 1 gr = 65 mg. the label on a bottle of aspirin reads "aspirin, 5 gr." how many mg of aspirin are in a tablet containing 5 gr?

325mg of Aspririn

Explanation:

First you should note the information that the problem gives you:

- The bottle of Aspirin has 5gr (grains)

- 1gr(grain) = 65mg (miligrams)

Also, the problem is asking about how many aspirin are in 5 gr (grains), so you should use a conversion factor, as follows:

-First you should put the quantity you need to convert:

-Then you write the denominator of the conversion factor that must have the same units that you want to convert, in this case gr:

-Then you write the numerator with the units that you want to obtain and the numerical equivalence between the units, in this case:

-Finally you multiply numerators and divide by denominators:

the density of gold = 19.3 g/cm3

the relation between density and mass and volume is

density = mass / volume

given :

mass of gold = 13 g

density = 13g / volume = 19.3

volume = 13 /19.3 = 0.67 cm^3

thus volume of gold nugget = 0.67 cm^3
