Solution
Verified by Toppr

$$\textbf{Step 1: Multiplying to find the total weight in one box}$$
Number of strips in each box $$= 5$$
Number of capsules in $$1$$ strips $$= 12$$
Weight of medicine in each capsule $$= 500\ mg$$

Therefore Weight of medicine in one box $$= 5 \times 12 \times 500\ mg$$
$$= 30000\ mg$$

$$\textbf{Step 2: Dividing weight of medicine in 32 boxes in grams:}$$
Weight of medicine in $$32$$ such boxes $$= 32 \times 30000\ mg$$
$$= 960000\ mg$$
Therefore Weight in grams $$= \dfrac{960000}{1000\ g} = 960\ g$$. (As $$1\ g = 1000\ mg$$)

$$\textbf{Hence, the weight of all the medicine in the box is 960 g}$$.
