Answer 1

3.75 is the decimal equivalent of three & ¾

 

3.75 containers / 10 tons = 1 container /x tons.

 

Solve this proportion for x.  Okay?

 

NOTE: You can INVERT each side of any proportion, and if you do to this one, it now says

x ton(s) per 1 container = 10/3.75 and now all you have to do is this division!
