Then Nick fills the van with large wooden crates.
The weight of each crate is 69 kg
The greatest weight the van can hold is 990 kg.
(b) Work out the greatest number of crates that the van can hold.



Answer :

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a division problem.

990 kg / 69 kg = 14.3

14 × 69 kg = 966 kg

15 × 69 kg = 1035 kg

14 crates weigh 966 kg which is less than 990 kg.

15 crates weigh 1035 kg which is greater than 990 kg.

The greatest number of crates with a combined weight less than 990 kg is 14.

Answer: 14
