Answer

8400mg is the total amount of vitamin C in the bottle.

Steps

Step 1 :Convert the amount of vitamin C in one tablet from grams to milligrams. We know that 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. So, 0.14 grams is equal to 0.14×1000=140 milligrams.

Step 2 :Multiply the amount of vitamin C in one tablet (in milligrams) by the number of tablets: 140mg/tablet×60tablets=8400mg.

Step 3 :8400mg is the total amount of vitamin C in the bottle.
