(b) The distance between the school and the house of a student is 1 km 875 m. Every day, she walks both ways between her school and home. Find the total distance covered by her in six days.

Given: Soap is packed in boxes each weighing 15kg80g.

To do:  To find how many such boxes can be loaded in a truck which cannot carry beyond 4500 kg .

Solution:

Let the boxes be $x$.

Weight of each soap = 15 kg 800 gram

                                      = 15.8 kg

=> $15.8x = 4500$

=> $x = \frac{4500}{15.8}$

=  $x$ is nearly 284

The truck will carry 284 boxes.
