Answer 1

The total number of shipment has 34.5 tons of sugar altogether.

Calculating the total shipment of the sugar.

We are being told that a shipment of sugar fills 9 container and each container hold
`3 (5)/(6)` tons of sugar. To determine the total quantity of sugar in the containers, we need to use the formula:

Total quantity of sugar = number of shipment × amount each containers can hold.

Total quantity of sugar =
`9 * (3 +(5)/(6))`

Total quantity of sugar =
`9 * ((23)/(6))`

Total quantity of sugar =
`(207)/(6)`

Total quantity of sugar = 34.5 tons

Thus, the total number of shipment has 34.5 tons of sugar altogether.
