Fish Oil: A bottle of fish oil contains 50 soft gels, each containing 200 mg of the omega-3 fatty acid. How many total grams of the omega-3 fatty acid are in this bottle?There are ? grams of omega-3 fatty acid in the bottle.

Respuesta :

To solve this problem, multiply the number of bottles times the number of soft gels in a bottle, then multipliy it by the mg that are in one soft gel and then convert the mg to grams, this way:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1b\cdot\frac{50sg}{1b}=50sg \\ 50sg\cdot\frac{200mg}{1sg}=10000mg \\ 10000mg\cdot\frac{1g}{1000g}=10g \end{gathered}[/tex]

There are 10 grams of omega-3 fatty acid in the bottle.
