Change the mixed fractions to improper fractions.
To do this, multiply the whole number part by the denominator. Add that to the numerator. Then write the result on top of the denominator.
You would now have:

Change the division sign to a multiplication sign by turning the second fraction upside down.
That is,

The answer is:

This can be simplified to:
Step-by-step explanation:
$ 3750 = truck rental; $125 per ton of sugar transported
C is cost; S is number of tons transported
Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b
C = 125S + $3750
This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only
you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)
As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:
(1, 3875) (2, 4000) (3, 4125) etc.
This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
Work = (force) x (distance)
= (200 lb) x (10 ft) = 2,000 ft-lbs .
