Answers
Answer:
Not more then 177.
Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of the van = Not more than 800 kg
Number of boxes that can be loaded = 800 / 4.5 = 8000 / 45 = 177.77
Therefore, number of boxes that can be loaded in the van is not more than 177.

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.
