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!

Agata [3.3K]
Picturing the tent helps, but we can actually solve this question using simple algebra and no knowledge of triangles. 
The key is this function:
(b/h) = 2/√3  
We want to get h by itself. First, multiply both sides by h:
b = h(2/√3)       Now multiply both sides by the reciprical, (√3/2)
(√3/2) b = h

Therefore, the answer is C) h= b(√3/2)

If f(x)=3^x+10x and g(x)=4x-2, find (f+g)(x)
Vikentia [17]
Hi there!

First we need to remember the following.
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

Now substitute both of the formulas.
(f + g)(x) = ({3}^{x} + 10x)+ (4x - 2)

Work out the parenthesis.
(f + g)(x) = {3}^{x} + 10x + 4x - 2

And finally collect terms.
(f + g)(x) = {3}^{x} + 14x - 2

~ Hope this helps you!

Consider the equation below -2(5x + 8) = 14 + 6x complete the statements below with the process used to achieve steps 1-4
Ad libitum [116K]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the -2. multiply-2 with 5x and 8. it will be -10x-16=14+6x. For me, i make small numbers negative or positive than big ones. Add 16 to both sides. it will be -10x=30+6x. Subtract 6x. -10x-6x=-16x. Divide both sides by 16. x=30/16= 1 and 14/16

QRST is a parallelogram. Find x and y.
Wewaii [24]

In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:

y - 4x = 9

-x + 4 = y

Add x to both sides of the second equation:

y + x = 4

y - 4x = 9

This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:

5x = -5

x = -1

Use x to solve for y:

y + (-1) = 4

y = 5

So, x = -1 and y = 5.
