Answers
Given :
- Medicine is packed in boxes
- each weighing 4 kg 500 g.
To find :
- How many such boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg?
Solution :
van can carry a weight of 800 kg
=> (800 x 1000) g
=> 800000 g
weight of one packet = 4 kg 500 g
=> 4 kg + 500 g
=> (4 x 1000)g + 500 g
=> 4500 g
number of packet that can be loaded in the van
=> 800000/4500
now,
4500)800000(177
- 4500
-------------------------
35000
- 31500
-------------------------
35000
- 315000

3500
=> 177 packet loaded in van

Find :
How many such boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg?

We know that ,
We know the given medicine is 4kg 500g.
→ 4kg + 500g
→ 4000 + 500
→ 4500 g
ㅤㅤ
We know that given weight that van can carry is 800kg.
→ 800kg × 1000g
→ 800000g
ㅤㅤ
Applying formula :
★ Boxes = No.of boxes the van can carry/Weight of the medicines.
ㅤㅤ
Calculations :
→ 800000/4500
→ 177 boxes
ㅤㅤ
Therefore, the van can carry 177 such boxes
