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.
