Medicine is packes in boxes, each weighing 4 kg 500 g. How many such boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg?
We know, 1 kg = 1000g
Thus, 4 kg 500g = 4500g
And, 800 kg = 800×1000 = 8,00,000g
Weight of one box = 4500g
The total weight that can be carried by van = 8,00,000 g
Thus, the number of boxes that can be loaded in the van = 800000÷4500
Hence, 177 boxes can be loaded in the van.
