Question. 186
A tempo carries 482 boxes of 15 kg each and a van carries 518 boxes of the same weight. Find the total weight.
Answer:
\(15{,}000\text{ kg}\)
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
Each box weighs 15 kg.
-
Weight in the tempo (482 boxes):
\(482 \times 15\)
\(= 482 \times 10 + 482 \times 5\)
\(= 4820 + 2410\)
\(= 7230\text{ kg}\)
-
Weight in the van (518 boxes):
\(518 \times 15\)
\(= 518 \times 10 + 518 \times 5\)
\(= 5180 + 2590\)
\(= 7770\text{ kg}\)
-
Total weight:
\(7230 + 7770\)
\(= 15000\text{ kg}\)
