A pill weighs 100 mg, 8/9 of the pill is active ingrediant, how many milligrams are in the part of the pill that is not the active ingrediant?
(1/9) * 100 = 100/9 = 11.11 mg
To find the number of milligrams in the part of the pill that is not the active ingredient, we first need to calculate the weight of the active ingredient in the pill.
Given that the pill weighs 100 mg, and 8/9 of the pill is the active ingredient, we can calculate the weight of the active ingredient as follows:
Weight of active ingredient = (8/9) * 100 mg
Now, let's calculate it:
Weight of active ingredient = (8/9) * 100 mg
= (8 * 100) / 9 mg
≈ 88.89 mg
Since the active ingredient weighs approximately 88.89 mg, we can subtract this value from the total weight of the pill to find the weight of the part that is not the active ingredient:
Weight of part that is not the active ingredient = Total weight of the pill - Weight of active ingredient
= 100 mg - 88.89 mg
= 11.11 mg
Therefore, the part of the pill that is not the active ingredient weighs approximately 11.11 mg.
