To determine how many capsules the druggist can prepare, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the amount of aspirin required per capsule: Each capsule requires 0.007 grams of aspirin.
2. Identify the total amount of aspirin available: The druggist has a total of 14 grams of aspirin.
3. Calculate the number of capsules: To find out how many capsules the druggist can make, divide the total available aspirin by the amount of aspirin needed for one capsule.
[tex]\[
\text{Number of capsules} = \frac{\text{Total Aspirin}}{\text{Aspirin per Capsule}}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of capsules} = \frac{14 \text{ grams}}{0.007 \text{ grams per capsule}}
\][/tex]
5. Simplify the division:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of capsules} = 2000 \text{ capsules}
\][/tex]
So, the druggist can prepare 2,000 capsules. Comparing this with the provided choices:
A. 2,000
B. 200
C. 5,000
D. 500
The best answer is A. 2,000.
