A shipment of sugar fills
4/9 containers. If each container holds 2 2/5
tons of sugar, what is the amount of sugar in the entire shipment?
Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Sagot :

Answer:

For this problem, multiply these fractions.

 

First, make each one an improper fraction: 2 4/5 is the same as 14/5 and 2 3/7 is the same as 17/7.

 

Now, 14/5 times 17/7 yields 238/35 which reduces to 34/5. This may be expressed also as the mixed fraction 6 4/5.

 

So, the shipment contains 6 4/5 tons of sugar. (This is also equal to 13,600 pounds of sugar.)
