Question

Anna made 400 quarts of lemonade. She poured the lemonade into containers. Each container holds 4/7 of a quart. How many containers did Anna use??

Answer 1

400÷4/7=700
you want divide the totals amount of lemonade among pitchers that only hold 4/7 of the lemonade. if the container held 1 qt, you would divide the total by 1

Answer 2

we know that

Anna made $400$ quarts of lemonade

She poured the lemonade into containers

Each container holds $4/7$ of a quart

so

by proportion

Find the the number of containers that were used

$\frac{1}{(4/7)}\frac{container}{quarts}=\frac{x}{400}\frac{container}{quarts} \\ \\x*(4/7)=400\\ \\x=400/(4/7)\\ \\x=700\ containers$

therefore

the answer is

$700\ containers$
