Answer: 5 containers
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Given that
Total amount of potato salad = 10 1/2
amount of salad in each container = 2 1/4
Total number of containers = ?
Step 2
Divide the total amount of potato salad by the amount of salad each container can hold
Total number of containers=10 1/2 / 2 1/4 = 21/2 x 4/9= 84/18 = 4 3/5
which can also be written as 10.5 / 2.25= 4.6
Sheila will need 5 containers because 4 will be filled and additional 1 will be partially filled.
