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

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

Answer: 

Data Provided: 

1. Medicines are packed in boxes.
2. Each box weighs 4kg 500g. 

Objective: To find out how many such boxes can be loaded in a can which cannot carry beyond 800kg. 

Solution:

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

Therefore, 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
