To find the answer we need multiply the number of containers by number tons of sugar each container has.
(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7).
To calculate , we need to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.
4 1/3 = (4*3 +1)/3 = 13/3
2 1/7 = (2*7+1)/7 =15/7
(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7) = (13/3) * (15/7) = (13*5)/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 (tons)
Answer: 9 2/7 tons.
<span> Let x be the smaller number.
Then 3x is the larger number.
We also know that the smaller added to the larger is 52, or:
x + 3x = 52
4x =52
x = 13
Therefore the smaller is 13, the larger is 3(13)=39. </span>
