Answer:

14

Explanation:

He will need 14 containers. 4 times 7/2 is 28/2. You then have to simplify it and will get 14.

Answer:

13.9 containers or 14 rounded

Explanation:

2/7 of a pound is 0.28571429 in decimal form. To solve you have to know how many 2/7 of a pound will go into 4 pounds. So you divide 2/7 of a pound by 4 pounds, and the answer is 14.
