Answer 1

Word problem

Given:

    Medicine is packed in boxes, each weighing 3 kg 500 g.

To Find:

    How many  such boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 750 kg?

Step-by-step explanation:

• We'll convert all values in gram to make it easy to solve.
• 3 kg 500 g = 3500g
• 750kg = 750000g
• If, one box weighs 3500 g, then the number of boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 750kg (750000g) are
• $\frac{750000}{3500}$
• $=\frac{7500}{35}$
• =214.286 ≈ 214

Hence, 214 boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 750 kg.
