Answer:

Omar can fill 28 containers

Explanation:

Omar have 7 pounds of cherries, each pound need 4 containers because each one only hold of
(1)/(4)\\ pound, now we multiplicate 7 pounds with 4 container for each one and we get 28 containers.


Number containers = (7 pounds)/((1)/(4)pounds ) = 28
