7. During the Middle Ages, people often used grains, scruples, and drahms to measure the weights of different medicines. If 120 grains are equivalent to 6 scruples and 6 scruples are equivalent to 2 drahms, how many drahms are equivalent to 300 grains? Explain your reasoning. If you get stuck, try creating a table.

5 drahms.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

120 grains = 6 scruples

6 scruples = 2 drahms

300 grains (in drahms) =..?

From the above data,

120 grains = 6 scruples

6 scruples = 2 drahms

Therefore,

120 grains = 2 drahms

Thus, we can obtain 300 grains in drahms as follow:

120 grains = 2 drahms

Therefore,

300 grains = 300 grains × 2 drahms /120 grains

300 grains = (300 × 2)/120 drahms

300 grains = 5 drahms

Therefore, 300 grains is equivalent to 5 drahms.

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
