Answer:
9 4/5 tons of sugar.
Explanation:
The number of containers in a shipment of sugar = 4 1/5 containers
Amount of sugar in each container = 2 1/3 tons
Therefore, the amount of sugar in the entire shipment is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =4\frac{1}{5}\times2\frac{1}{3} \\ =\frac{21}{5}\times\frac{7}{3} \\ =\frac{7\times7}{5} \\ =\frac{49}{5} \\ =9\frac{4}{5}\text{ tons} \end{gathered}[/tex]There are 9 4/5 tons of sugar in the entire shipment.
