Question

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

Answer 1

4kg=4×1000g=4000g
4kg+500g=4500g
maximum weight that van can load is 800kg=800×1000g=800000g
therefore maximum number of boxes are =
800000÷4500=177boxes

Answer 2

Given :

Medicine is packed in boxes, each weighing 4 kg 500g.

ㅤㅤ

Find :

How many such boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg?

ㅤㅤ

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.

ㅤㅤ

Calculations :

→ 800000/4500

→ 177 boxes

ㅤㅤ

Therefore, the van can carry 177 such boxes.
