Question

Medicene is packed in boxes, esch such box weighing 4kg 500g.how many such boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800kg

Answer 1

1 kg = 1000 g

4 kg 500 g = 4500 g

800 kg = 800 × 1000 = 800000 g

Number of boxes that can be loaded in the van = 800000 ÷ 4500

Hence, 177 boxes at maximum can be loaded in the van.

Answer 2

weight of each box of medicine
= 4kg 500g
=( 4 + 500/1000)kg
= 4 1/2 kg
= 4.5 kg

now
the number of boxes that can be accommodated in the van
= 800/4.5
= 800x 10/45
= 177.77778

therefore 177 number of boxes can be fit
