\sf{\underline{We\:know\:that:}}

\boxed{\sf{1 \: kg = 1000 \: g}}

\sf{\underline{Given:}}

Medicine is packed in boxes, each weighing 4 kg 500 g.

\sf{\underline{To\:find:}}

Number of boxes that can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg.

\sf{\underline{Weight\:of\:1\:medicine\:box:}}

\implies \sf{4 \: kg \:+\: 500 \: g}

\sf{\underline{That\:is:}}

\implies \sf{ 4 \: kg + 500 \: g}

\implies \sf{ 4 \times 1000 \: g + 500 \: g}

\implies \sf{4000 \: g + 500 \: g}

\implies \sf{4500 \: g}

\sf{\underline{So:}}

\sf{\underline{Weight\:of\:1\:medicine\:box:}} \sf{4500 \: g}

\sf{\underline{Now:}}

\sf{\underline{Total\:weight:}}

\implies \sf{ 800 \: kg}

\implies \sf{ 800 \times 1000}

\implies \sf{800000 \: g}

\sf{\underline{So:}}

\sf{\underline{Total\:weight:}} \sf{800000 \: g}

\sf{\underline{Now:}}

\sf{\underline{We\:have\:to\:find\:the\:no.\:of\:boxes:}}

\boxed{\sf{No. \: of \: boxes = \frac {Total \: weight}{Weight \: of \: 1 \: box}}}

\implies \sf{ \frac{800000}{4500}}

\implies \sf{ \frac{8000}{45}}

\implies \sf{177.77}

\sf{\underline{Therefore:}}

177 such boxes can be loaded in a van.

1 medicine Packed Box Weighs=4 kg 500 g

1 kg=1000 g

4 kg 500 g in g=(4×1000+500)g

=4000+500

=4500 g

1 medicine Packed Box Weighs=4500 g

4500 g in Kg=4500/1000

=4.5 kg

1 medicine Box Weighs=4.5 kg

Van Can't carry Medicine box over 800 kg

We know 1 medicine Box=4.5 kg

Let Total x Box Weighs 800 kg

Then

Total Box ×weight of 1 box=800

x×4.5=800

4.5x=800

x=800/4.5

x=177.77

Means Total Box=177.77

Since Box Can't be in Decimal.

Approx Value can be 177 or 178

If there is 178 box Total Weighs

178×4.5=801 kg

Van Can Only carry 800 kg

So Answers=177 boxes

\boxed{\mathbf{\huge{Total\:Boxes=177}}}
