2 answers:
The entire shipment contains 9 2/7 tons of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the total amount of sugar in the entire shipment.
Number of containers in the shipment = 4 1/3 = 13/3
Number of tons of sugar = 2 1/7 = 15/7
⇒ Total amount of sugar = 13/3 × 15/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 tons
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.
