Question

Medicine is packed in boxes, each weighing 4 kg 500g. How many such boxes can be
loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg?​

Answer 1

Answer:

177 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Medicines are packed in boxes. One box weighs 4kg 500g.

We need to find many of the numbers of boxes that can be loaded in a can that cannot carry beyond 800kg.

Solution:

The weight of one box = 4 kg 500 g = 4 × 1000 g + 500 g = 4500 g { As we know that 1kg = 1000g}

Maximum load can be loaded in can = 800 kg = 800 × 1000 g = 800000 g

Hence, total weight=Maximum load can be loaded in can =800000 g

Number of boxes = Total weight / Weight of each box

Number of boxes = 800000/4500 = 177

Number of boxes = 177

Therefore, 177 boxes can be loaded in a can that cannot carry beyond 800kg.

Answer 2

Answer:

177 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kg =1000g

4 kg 500 g=4500g

800 kg =8×1000=800000g

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

           177

          _________

4500)800000

           4500

          _________

           35000

           31500

          _________

              35000

              31500

             ___________

                  3500

             ___________

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