Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Total = 46 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, 1 kg = 1000 g

Therefore, 260 kg = 2,60,000 g

And, 5 kg 600 g = 5,600 g

=> Total no. of boxes = 2,60,000 / 5,600

=> total = 2600 / 56 = 1300 / 28 = 650 / 14

=> total = 325 / 7 = 46.43 (approx.)

=> Total = 46 boxes

Answer 2

46 such boxes can be loaded in the van.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of each box of medicine=  5kg 600g= 5600 grams

Maximum weight the van can carry = 260 kg = 260000 grams

To find= the number of boxes that can be loaded in the van

Solution

As we know the weight of each box and the maximum carrying capacity of the van, we can calculate the number of boxes that can be loaded.

Number of boxes that can be loaded= maximum capacity of the van÷Weight of each box

Putting in the values= 260000÷5600

Number of boxes that can be loaded in the van =  46.42

This can be rounded off to 46 boxes.

Result:

Thus, 46 such boxes can be loaded in the van.
