The mass of zinc in one tablet is 13.3 mg.

Explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the mass of #"Zn"# in the #"Zn"_2"P"_2"O"_7#

#"Mass of Zn" = 0.248 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g Zn"_2"P"_2"O"_7))) × "130.78 g Zn"/(304.72 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g Zn"_2"P"_2"O"_7)))) = "0.1064 g Zn"#

This is the mass of zinc in eight tablets.

Step 2. Calculate the mass of #"Zn"# in one tablet

#"Mass of Zn" = "0.1064 g Zn"/"8 tablets" = "0.0133 g Zn/tablet" = "13.3 mg Zn/tablet"#
