A shipment of 9 tons of sugar is separated into containers of equal size. If the shipment fills 4 2/7 containers how much does one container hold

Answer 1

Hi Jaylyn!

If you divide 9 by 30/7 (4 2/7) containers, "flip" the 30/7 to 7/30.

Multiply 9/1 times 7/30 and reduce to 21/10, which is 2 1/10 tons/container.

I hope that this helps.
