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?
The weight of one box = 4 kg 500 g = 4 × 1000 g + 500 g = 4500 g { As we know that 1kg = 1000g} Maximum load can be loaded in can = 800 kg = 800 × 1000 g = 800000 g Hence, total weight=Maximum load can be loaded in can =800000 g Number of boxes = Total weight / Weight of each box Number of boxes = 800000/4500 = 177 Number of boxes = 177 Answer Therefore, 177 boxes can be loaded in a can that cannot carry beyond 800kg.
