    She planted 2 2/3 of the original containers.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total container = 4 containers of 4 different flowers

    Total left = 1/3 of each, i. e,

    Total left = 1/3 x 4 = 4/3 of the original containers

    Total planted = (1 - 1/3) x 4 = 2/3 x 4 = 8/3 of the original containers

    8/3 = 2 2/3 = 2.67

    She claims she planted more than 2 1/2 of the of the original containers which is right,

    2 1/2 = 2.5
