Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

2 & 1/4 <u>OR</u> 2.25 cups fills the container!

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 & 1/2 (aka 3/2) fills 2/3 of the container, then:

we know that <em>half</em> of 3/2s fills 1/3 of the container

To find half of 3/2, we multiply 3/2 by the <em><u>inverse</u></em> of 2, which is 1/2.

3/2÷2

3/2×1/2 = 3/4 ths

Now that we know 3/4ths fills 1/3 of the container, we add that to 1& 1/2.

3/4+ 1&1/2 = 2 & 1/4

Check your work!

3/4 × 3 should equal 2&1/4 if we are correct

3/4 × 3/1 = 9/4.

Simplify!

9/4 = 2&1/4

That tells us that <u>we</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>correct</u><u>!</u>

Hope this helps!
