Answer: [tex]8\dfrac{1}{4}\text{ tons }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A shipment of sugar fills [tex]2\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] containers.
it can be written as [tex]\dfrac{11}{5}[/tex]
Amount of sugar each container holds = [tex]3\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] tons
it can be written as [tex]\dfrac{15}{4}[/tex]
Now, the amount of sugar in the entire shipment will be :_
[tex]\dfrac{15}{4}\times\dfrac{11}{5}=\dfrac{33}{4}=8\dfrac{1}{4}\text{ tons }[/tex]
Hence, the amount of sugar in the entire shipment =[tex]8\dfrac{1}{4}\text{ tons }[/tex]
