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.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First,You have to realize that if you multiply the amount of food by something, you multiply the amount of calories.  if some piece of food is 100 calories what happens if you eat 2?  you get 2 times that number of calories.  Same fi you eat half of one of that kind of food.  You get half the amount of calories.

Here he makes 1 1/2 (one and a half) times the amount.  Now, if this is confusing  you just need to realize that  multiplying by this is the same as multiplying by 1+1/2.  Say, again, a piece of food is 100 calories.  Multiplying it by this would look like the following.

100(1+1/2)

100*1 + 100*1/2

100+50

150

So if you ever have a mixed number like this  you could split it up into an addition problem and then distribute hat you're multiplying.  Another solution is to multiply by the improper fraction, which here is 3/2, so 100*3/2=150 as well.  Let me know if you don't get how to get the improper fraction or how to multiply fractions.

Now, super simple, just multiply the calories by that number.

310(1+1/2) = 310(3/2)

310 + 155 = 930/2

465 = 465

Kinda showed how to multiply by fractions, still if you don't get it let me know.

64

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
The square of any number can be obtained by multiplied the number by itself.
<u>In other words:</u>
square of x = x</span>²<span> = x * x

For the given, we want to get the square of 8. This means that we will <u>multiply 8 by itself.</u>
Therefore:
square of 8 = 8</span>²<span> = 8 * 8 = 64

Hope this helps :)</span>

Jewelery maker has
24 jade beads
30 teak Beads
So we need to find the highest common factor for both 24 and 30
The factors for both numbers are
24 -1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
30 - 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
The highest common factor for both is 6
The greatest number of necklaces she can make is 6
Number of jade beads - 24/6 = 4 jade beads
Number of teak beads - 30/6 = 5 teak beads
So each necklace will have 4 jade beads and 5 teak beads
