A shipment of sugar fills 6 containers. If each container holds 3 3/4 tons of sugar, what is the amount of sugar in the entire shipment?
Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, change the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

Secondly, multipy 6 containers by 15/4 to get total tons of sugar.

Thus 6*15/4=22.5

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
