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

`(1)/((4/7))(container)/(quarts)=(x)/(400)(container)/(quarts) \\ \\x*(4/7)=400\\ \\x=400/(4/7)\\ \\x=700\ containers`

therefore

the answer is

`700\ containers`
