    To find the answer we need multiply the number of containers by number tons of sugar each container has.

    (4 1/3) * (2 1/7).

    To calculate, we need to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.

    4 1/3 = (4*3 + 1) / 3 = 13/3

    2 1/7 = (2*7+1) / 7 = 15/7

    (4 1/3) * (2 1/7) = (13/3) * (15/7) = (13*5) / 7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 (tons)

    Answer: 9 2/7 tons.
