The answer is 6, reaosn is because 6/8 is not simplified, so if we divide both sides by 2 (the numerator and the denominator), we can get a simplified fraction, which is 3/4. Steps: 6/8, 6 divided by 2/8 divided by 2, 3/4.

Answer: $4.46</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
3 containers = 6.69 dollars
3/3 containers = 6.69/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3
1 container = 2.23 dollars
2*(1 container) = 2*(2.23 dollars) ... multiply both sides by 2
2 containers = 4.46 dollars
A shortcut is to start with "3 containers = 6.69 dollars" and multiply both sides by 2/3
Each mention of "container" refers to a half-gallon container.
