Question

The total weight of $1,523$ cubical boxes is $11,98,078$kg. Estimate the weight of each box to the nearest thousands

Answer 1

Given that the total weight of $1,523$ cubical boxes is $11,98,078$kg.

Total weight of boxes = Weight of each box $\times$ Number of boxes

So, Weight of each box = $\frac{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{weight}}{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Boxes}}$

$=\frac{1198078}{1523}$

$=786.65$

After rounding it off, we get $1000kg$.

Hence, the weight of each box to the nearest thousands is $1000kg$..
