Question

Medicine is packed in boxes, each
weighing 5 kg 600 g. How many such
boxes can be loaded in a van which
cannot carry beyond 260 kg?.​

Answer 1

Weight of a box = 4kg 600g

= 4 × 1000 + 600 = 4600 grams

Weight that can be loaded in van = 260

= 260 × 1000 = 260,000

No. of boxes that can be loaded =

260,000 ÷ 4600 = 56

Therefore,

56 boxes can be loaded in the van.

Answer 2

Weight of a box = 4kg 600g

in grams= 4x1000+600=4600 g

Weight that can be loaded in van = 260kg

in grams=260x1000=260,000 g

No. of boxes that can be loaded = 260,000/4600=56.52 boxes

Therefore,

56.52 boxes can be loaded in the van.
