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:
- Medicines are packed in boxes.
- 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
