Question

A shipment of sugar fills 14 containers. If each container holds 2 1/4 tons of sugar, what is the amount of sugar in the entire shipment?

Answer 1

You would do 14*2 1/4 so that would be 31.5

Answer 2

Answer:

31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we convert 2 1/4 to an improper  fraction which is 9/4

Then;

We covert 9/4 to decimal form which is 2.25

Then;

We multiply 2.25 with 14(number of containers holding sugar) which is 31.5

Hence the amount of sugar in the entire shipment is 31.5 tons
