Question

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

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

weigth of each Box= 4 kg 500 g

No of boxes = 800 kg / 4.5 kg

$\frac{800}{4.5} = \frac{8000}{45} = \frac{1600}{9} = 177boxes \: with7kg \: remaining \: medicine$

Answer 2

Answer:

178 boxes can be loaded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of a medicine box = 4.5 kg

Weight the can van hold = 800 kg

If one box weighs 4.5 kgs . Then y boxes loaded in can weigh 800 kgs.

Now,

y = 800 / 4.5

y = 177.8 boxes

y ~ 178 boxes

So approximately 178 boxes can be loaded in the can.
