Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the problem, we need to use the following conversion factor:

1.21 kg aspirin = 1,210,000 mg aspirin

We know that the dose of each tablet is 81 mg, so we can divide the total amount of aspirin by the dose per tablet to find the number of tablets:

1,210,000 mg aspirin ÷ 81 mg per tablet = 14,938.27 tablets

Since we can't have a fraction of a tablet, we need to round down to the nearest whole tablet. Therefore, the answer is:

14,938 tablets, which is approximately 1.5 × 10^4 tablets, or choice B.
