Question

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

boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg?​

Answer 1

4kg=4×1000g=4000g

4kg+500g=4500g

maximum weight that van can load is 800kg=800×1000g=800000g

therefore maximum number of boxes are =

800000÷4500=177boxes

Answer 2

Answer:

800 × 1000g = 800000g

4kg500g = 4500g

800000 ÷ 4500

So 177 such boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg
