    The answer to your question is 8 containers

    Step-by-step explanation:

    amount of salad in each container = 1 3/4

    total number of containers = ?

    Process

    1. - Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions

    a) 13 1/2 = (26 + 1) / 2 = 27/2

    b) 1 3/4 = (4 + 3) / 4 = 7/4

    27/2 : 7/4 = 108/14 = 57/7 or 7.71

    3. - Conclusion

    She will need 8 containers 7 will be filled and 1 will be partially filled.
