How about
A box of specialty baking flour holds 2 kg. How many angel food cakes can be made with a recipe that calls for 100 grams of flour?
This one isnt 2,000?
for the 2nd one is it 0.1?
100g=0.1kg
For the aspirin question is 2 grams?
100g = 0.10kg
2kg = 2000g
2000 / 100 = 20 cakes
To find the total grams in the travel pack of four aspirin, each containing 500 milligrams, you need to convert milligrams to grams.
To convert milligrams to grams, you divide the number of milligrams by 1000.
Each aspirin contains 500 milligrams, so when you convert it to grams, you divide 500 by 1000:
500 milligrams ÷ 1000 = 0.5 grams
Since there are four aspirin in the travel pack, you need to multiply the weight of a single aspirin in grams by the number of aspirin in the pack:
0.5 grams × 4 = 2 grams
Therefore, the total weight of the travel pack is 2 grams, not 0.5 grams.
