Question

A shipment of
9
tons of sugar is separated into containers of equal size. If the shipment fills
445
containers, how much sugar can one container hold?

Answer 1

Well, you could take one route by simply dividing the 9 tons by 445 containers, but you might want something simpler, so you make the 9 tons into 18,000 pounds. 18,000 / 445 = 40.4494382. All you have to do is round up the numbers.
