Question

Marble is packed in boxes, each weighing 7 kg 500g. Calculate the maximum number of boxes that can be
loaded in a truck which cannot carry beyond 900kg?

Answer 1

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

convert 7kg 500 grams into kg=7.5kg

max. limit =900kg

to calculate the number of boxes= 900÷7.5=120

therefore it can carry 120 boxes

Answer 2

Answer:

One box of marble weighs 7kg 500g. We need to find many of the numbers of boxes that can be loaded in a can that cannot carry beyond 900kg. Therefore, 60 boxes of marbles can be loaded in a can that cannot carry beyond 900kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of a box = 7kg 500g

                                     = 1kg= 100g

                                     = 1kg 500g =1x1000 + 500g

                                     = 1500g                      

Weight that can be loaded in the truck = 900kg

                                     = 1kg = 1000g

                                     = 900kg = 9x1000

                                     = 90,000g              

No. of boxes that can be loaded = 90,000/1500

                                                      = 60

Therefore,

60 boxes can be loaded in the truck.
