Ahmed transports metal bars of mass 60kg in his van. The van can hold a

maximum load of 1200kg.
For safety reason Ahmed assumes that the maximum load (1200kg) is correct to
2sf and that the 60kg mass of each bar is correct to 1sf.
Calculate the maximum number of bars Ahmed can safely load onto the van.

Answer: 20 bars

Step-by-step explanation: If the van can hold up to 1200kg and each bar weighs 60kg, you would divide 1200kg/60 kg and get the answer of 20.
