Question

14. A medicine is packed in a box. Each box weighs 4 kg
500 g. How many such boxes can be loaded in a van
which cannot carry beyond 868 kg 620 g?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

weight of a box =4kg 500g

= 4×1000+500

=4500g

weight that can be loaded in the Van =868kg 620g

=868×1000+620

=868620

number of boxes that can be loaded in the Van

=868620/4500

=193.2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\red\bigstar$ 193 boxes of medicines can be loaded onto the van .

SOLUTION

Weight of 1 box of medicine = 4 kg 500 g

⇒ Weight of 1 box of medicine = 4.5 kg

⇒ Weight of 1 box of medicine = 4.5 × 1000 = 4500 g

Maximum weight the van can carry = 868kg 620g

⇒ Maximum weight the van can carry = 868 × 1000 + 620

⇒ Maximum weight the  van can carry = 868000 + 620

⇒ Maximum weight the van can carry = 868620g

$\sf Maximum \: number \: of \: boxes \: of \: medicines \: that \: can \: be \: loaded \: onto \: the \: van =$

$\sf \dfrac{Maximum \: weight \; the \;van \;can \;carry}{Weight\; of \;each \;box}$

Here,

Maximum weight the van can carry = 8g

Weight of each box = 4500g

$\implies \sf Maximum \; number \; of \; boxes \; of \; medicines \; that \; can \; be \; loaded \; onto \; the \; van = \dfrac{868620}{4500}$

$\implies \sf Maximum \; number \; of \; boxes \; of \; medicines \; that \; can \; be \; loaded \; onto \; the \; van = 193.02 = 193$
