Question

A shipment of 8 tons of sugar is separated into containers of equal size. If the shipment fills 3 1/3 containers, how much sugar can one container hold. You don't have to give me the answer jus explain it please. Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Take 8 and divide it by 3 1/3. to make it easer 1/3 could be .3 as a decimal.
so 8 divided by 3.3.
8/3.3= 2.42
so it would be 2.42 tons of sugar per container.
