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?

Solution

Given :Weight of one box = 4 kg 500 g = 4,000 + 500 g = 4,500 g [∴ 1000 g = 1kg]

Maximum weight that the van can carry = 800 kg = 8,00,000 g

To find: Number of boxes that can be loaded in the van

Number of boxes that can be loaded in the van = Maximum weight that the van can carry /Weight of one box

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

Therefore, 177 boxes can be loaded in the van.
