A box contains 50 biscuit packets each 120g. How many such boxes can be loaded in a van of 900kg?
150 boxes
Step 1: Understand the data
Each packet weighs: \(120\,\text{g}\)
Packets in one box: \(50\)
Step 2: Find the weight of one box
\(\text{Weight of 1 box} = 50 \times 120\,\text{g}\)
\(= 6000\,\text{g}\)
Step 3: Convert grams to kilograms
\(1000\,\text{g} = 1\,\text{kg}\)
\(6000\,\text{g} = \dfrac{6000}{1000}\,\text{kg}\)
\(= 6\,\text{kg}\)
Step 4: Use the van’s capacity
Van capacity: \(900\,\text{kg}\)
Step 5: Find how many boxes fit
\(\text{Number of boxes} = \dfrac{900\,\text{kg}}{6\,\text{kg per box}}\)
\(= 150\)
Conclusion: The van can carry 150 boxes.
