There are 60 tablets in the package, and the package will last 10 days.

Solución

Given that the package weighs \(100 \, \text{mg}\) and each pill weighs \[ 1\frac{2}{3} \, \text{mg}, \] we first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: \[ 1\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \, \text{mg}. \] ### Step 1: Find the Number of Tablets The number of tablets is the total weight divided by the weight of one tablet: \[ \text{Number of tablets} = \frac{100 \, \text{mg}}{\frac{5}{3} \, \text{mg}}. \] Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: \[ \text{Number of tablets} = 100 \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{300}{5} = 60. \] So, there are \(60\) tablets in the package. ### Step 2: Determine the Number of Days the Package Will Last If you take \(6\) pills per day, the number of days the package will last is: \[ \text{Number of days} = \frac{60 \, \text{tablets}}{6 \, \text{tablets/day}} = 10 \, \text{days}. \] ### Final Answer There are \(60\) tablets in the package, and the package will last you \(10\) days.

To find out how many tablets are in the package, we convert \( 1 \frac{2}{3} \text{ mg} \) to an improper fraction, which is \( \frac{5}{3} \text{ mg} \). Now, we divide the total weight of the package (100 mg) by the weight of each pill: \[ \frac{100 \text{ mg}}{\frac{5}{3} \text{ mg}} = 100 \times \frac{3}{5} = 60 \] So, there are 60 tablets in the package! If you take 6 pills a day, to find out how many days the package will last, simply divide the number of tablets by the daily dosage: \[ \frac{60 \text{ tablets}}{6 \text{ tablets per day}} = 10 \] The package will last you for 10 days. Happy pill popping!
