A shipment of 10 tons of sugar is separated into containers of equal size. If the shipment fills 334 containers, how much sugar can one container hold?

Question

i would really like an answer in 5 minutes.

Answer 1

10 tons of sugar is separated equally into 334 containers.

 

10 tons / 334 containers = (approximately) 0.0299 tons per container.

In pounds, one ton = 2000 lbs

 

10 tons/ 334c * 2000 lbs/1ton = 20,000/334 = (appx) 59.88 pounds per container

 

It all depends on what unit of measurement you need the answer in.

 

Does that make sense?

Answer 2

1 ton = 2,000 pounds

10 tons = 20,000 pounds

 

20,000/334 = _______ pounds per container
