Answer 2

Answer:

3 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need the amount of orange juice to make fruit punch =  $3\frac{3}{4}$ pints or  $\frac{15}{4}$ pints

Orange juice is sold in containers of $1\frac{1}{2}$ pints. or $\frac{3}{2}$ pints

Let the number of containers you buy be x.

$\frac{3}{2}$x > $\frac{15}{4}$

x > $\frac{\frac{15}{4} }{\frac{3}{2} }$

x >  $\frac{15}{4}$  ×  $\frac{2}{3}$

x >  $\frac{5}{2}$

x >  $2\frac{1}{2}$ containers ≈ 3 containers

You have to buy 3 containers.
