If Gasp cigarettes have 5 mG tar and 0.4 mG nicotine per cigarette and there are 20 cigarettes per pack, how many packs of cigarettes would have to be smoked to coat your lungs with 8 oz of tar? How many packs would you have to smoke to coat you lungs with 1 gram of nicotine?
one pack has ... 20 * 5 mg of tar , and , 20 * 0.4 mg of nicotine
google will do the milligram to ounce conversion
divide 8 oz by the tar figure , and 1 g by the nicotine figure
To calculate the number of packs of cigarettes required to coat your lungs with 8 oz of tar, we will need to convert the units.
1 oz is approximately equal to 28.35 grams, so 8 oz is equal to 8 x 28.35 = 226.8 grams.
Since each cigarette contains 5 mg (milligrams) of tar, 20 cigarettes in a pack would contain a total of 20 x 5 = 100 mg of tar.
To convert milligrams to grams, we divide by 1000.
So, each pack contains 100 mg / 1000 = 0.1 grams of tar.
To find the number of packs required, we can divide the total amount of tar needed (226.8 grams) by the amount of tar in each pack (0.1 grams):
226.8 grams / 0.1 grams = 2268 packs.
Therefore, you would need to smoke 2268 packs of Gasp cigarettes to coat your lungs with 8 oz of tar.
For the nicotine calculation:
1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams.
Each cigarette contains 0.4 mg of nicotine.
Thus, each pack would contain 20 x 0.4 = 8 mg of nicotine.
To convert milligrams to grams, we divide by 1000.
So, each pack contains 8 mg / 1000 = 0.008 grams of nicotine.
To find the number of packs required, we can divide the total amount of nicotine needed (1 gram) by the amount of nicotine in each pack (0.008 grams):
1 gram / 0.008 grams = 125 packs.
Therefore, you would need to smoke 125 packs of Gasp cigarettes to coat your lungs with 1 gram of nicotine.
To determine how many packs of cigarettes would be needed to coat the lungs with 8 oz (ounces) of tar, we need to convert the given tar amount into the same unit as the tar content of the cigarettes.
First, we need to know how many cigarettes are required to obtain 8 oz of tar. Given that each cigarette contains 5 mG (milligrams) of tar, let's convert this to the same unit as the 8 oz.
1 oz = 28,349.5 mg (approximately)
To convert 8 oz to mg:
8 oz x 28,349.5 mg/oz ≈ 226,796 mg
Now, we can determine the number of cigarettes required to reach 226,796 mg of tar:
226,796 mg (total tar) ÷ 5 mg (tar per cigarette) = 45,359.2 cigarettes
Since there are 20 cigarettes in a pack, we can calculate the number of packs needed:
45,359.2 cigarettes ÷ 20 cigarettes/pack ≈ 2,267.96 packs
Therefore, approximately 2,268 packs of Gasp cigarettes would need to be smoked to coat your lungs with 8 oz of tar.
To determine the number of packs required to coat the lungs with 1 gram of nicotine, we need to convert the given nicotine amount into the same unit as the nicotine content of the cigarettes.
1 gram (g) = 1,000 mg (milligrams)
Each cigarette contains 0.4 mG (milligrams) of nicotine.
To calculate the number of cigarettes required to reach 1,000 mg of nicotine:
1,000 mg (total nicotine) ÷ 0.4 mg (nicotine per cigarette) = 2,500 cigarettes
And the number of packs needed is:
2,500 cigarettes ÷ 20 cigarettes/pack = 125 packs
Therefore, approximately 125 packs of Gasp cigarettes would need to be smoked to coat your lungs with 1 gram of nicotine.
